Background information:
Brand: Sinsen Sake
Company: Higashi Sake Brewing Company (Higashi Shuzo)
Location: Japan, Ishikawa Prefecture
Establish: 1860
Representative: Yusuke Higashi
About:
Higashi Shuzo was founded in 1860 late in the Edo Period in the picturesque countryside of Ishikawa Prefecture. Sinsen, which literally means “water for the Deity”, uses the ground water found in the nearby shrine to make its sake.
Since the time of foundation, the present seventh generation of the Higashi family continues sake brewing with passion and has successfully combined traditional techniques with modern technology.
The success of Sinsen is attested by the selection of Sinsen Daiginjo to be served on Japanese government aircrafts (Japan’s Air Force One) to both domestic and foreign VIPs, including the Japanese royal family.
Factory
Our 12 buildings which includes sake breweries and residential buildings, were registered as a cultural property on January 8, 2009. The design of our sake breweries received great reviews. Three breweries are made of local tuff bricks (Kanagasoishi) and one has a western style, wooden-covered with stained-glass windows. These 4 breweries received especially high evaluation marks because of their rare and wonderful design.
It seems like the tea-ceremony house and the sukiya-zukuri style of building is whispering our sake master's secret message to any visitor who sees it.
The committee members commented that the sake breweries are very small in appearance, but the harmony of breweries and residence makes visitors imagine themselves as ancient prosperous sake brewers.
Location
Our brewery is located in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. Isikawa is blessed with nature, surrounded by mountains (including Mt.Hakusan) and Japan Sea. The Sake brewed with the clear and good-tasting water of Mt.Hakusan goes well with fresh foods from the sea.
