The Brewery

Hatsumago

When the brewery was founded in 1893, it was originally called Kinkyu. The name 'Hatsumago' (translated as the first grandchild) was adopted in the 1930s following the birth of the family's first grandchild. Hatsumago is recognised as specialists in the use of the Kimoto brewing method., a traditional method where lactic bacteria are attracted to the fermenting mash. It takes great skill to produce stable sake of high quality this way, and it took decades for Hatsumago to master it to perfection. These efforts have paid off with multiple awards including “Sake Brewer of the Year” 2018 by the International Wine Challenge.
