HATOMASAMUNE SHUZO

Establishment 1899

Established in 1899. It used to be named Inaumasamune”稲生正宗”. In early 20’s, we have changed the name of brewery to Hatomasamune “鳩政宗”, since a white pigeon”鳩” started to settle in the family altar and business had turned better after this. This white pigeon is considered as their god.

COMMITMENT

We are always seeking the further potential of sake by trying new yeast, brewery rice and methods. Aomori has lots of new and high-quality ingredients potentially innovate sake. Contributing to the spread of sake industry is our mission. In the same time, we have to preserve the inherited brewing style and knowledge. Mixture between new and tradition is Hatomasamune style.
