51st｜Hiyoshi Sake Brewery (Ishikawa)

This is a sake brewery founded in 1912 (Taisho 1) on Asaichi Street in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
The company started when the founder had a dream in which a white horse with a golden gourd on it told him to "start making sake."

Our representative brand is ``Kinpyo Shirakoma.'' The unique feature is that the sake is brewed using well water drawn from the basement of the brewery.

We also sell other brands such as ``Sasa no Tsuyu'' and ``Ore no Sake,'' which are ``Wajima sake brewed from the well closest to the Sea of ​​Japan.''

On January 1, 2024, due to the ``Reiwa 6 Noto Peninsula Earthquake,'' 80% of Asaichi Street, where Hiyoshi Sake Brewery is located, was destroyed by fire.The fire stopped right in front of Hiyoshi Sake Brewery, and although the wooden storehouse remained, the storehouse completely collapsed. The enamel inside the iron brewing tank and the tank used to store sake had cracks, making them unusable. The well was filled with sand and mud, and the water level became so low that it became impossible to draw water.

The store now has electricity and is open on weekdays. We produce alcoholic beverages through joint brewing within the prefecture and outside the prefecture.
