Daishichi’s 10th generation owner, Hideharu Ohta, has utilised modern technology with superflat rice polishing technique. This has paved the way for a modernised brewing method.

Located in a furniture-making town of Nihonmatsu Daishichi, the makers of Daishichi use only Yamada-nishiki and Gohyakuman-goku rice paired with subterranean waters from Mount Adatara to perfect the premium-grade sake brewing process.

Founded in 1752, Daishichi Sake brewery has prided themselves on a special brewing technique, namely the Kimoto method. 10th generation owner Hideharu Ohta has devoted his energy to the greater sophistication of the kimoto brewing method and its introduction to the world.

Some of Hideharu Ohta’s accomplishments include:

  • Utilising innovations such as superflat rice polishing techniques
  • Introducing the anoxic sake bottling system
  • Revived the older method of brewing using wooden vats
  • Casting of new iron cauldrons

Daishichi’s master brewer Takanobu Sato is considered among the top Kimoto brewer in Japan. He has even earned himself the honorary title of ““Contemporary Master Craftsman” conferred by the Japanese government.

Having worked for Daishichi for 23 years, Sato-san acts as a key person being a player-manager. He does not believe in taking short-cuts, striving to complete every process the right way through to the end.

With his fastidious working ethic, he managed to secure a monumental achievement for Daishichi by winning the gold medal at the Japan Sake Awards twice.

Local and international tourists who make a pit-stop at Daishichi brewery would surely be wow-ed by the scenic view albeit functional natural landscape surrounding the brewery.

The brewery is located in a historical castle town of Nihonmatsu, at the foot of Mt. Adatara, which not only provides a setting of great natural beauty, but also a rich supply of high-quality natural water suitable for sake brewing.
