About the brewery

Nanbubijin was founded in 1902 in Ninohe, Iwate, by Suetaro Kuji, starting at a modest scale. It draws brewing water from its own well and from a spring at nearby Takenouchi Shrine, and has focused on premium designated grades and ginjo-style sake. Fifth-generation president Kosuke Kuji took over in 2013, working alongside veteran toji Hajime Yamaguchi.
