Beginnings〜Water

Established in 1886, Nagai Sake is located in a small village near the source of the Tone River in northern Gunma prefecture. Founder Shoji Nagai started his sake brewery after discovering and purchasing mountainous land with a flowing artesian spring with pure water ideal for brewing sake.

Today sake brewery remains surrounded by rice fields and the natural beauty of the region.

Rebirth

1992, introduction of the “Mizubasho” brand, a brand name which is to become synonymous with quality. Here we focused on two things; keeping the “traditional handmade method”, while bringing on

modern technology, merging the best of the two worlds. In 1994,focusing on quality “Ginjo” brewing method, our new “Mizubasho Kura (Brewery)” was completed.

We continue to strive for excellence in our “Kura Making”, “Sake Making”, and the nurturing of our Craftsmanship.
