About the sake brewery

This time’s recommended brewery｜Makino Sake Brewery

Makino Sake Brewery has continued for over 330 years.

Makino Sake Brewery, located in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, was founded in 1690 and is the oldest sake brewery in Gunma Prefecture, boasting a history of over 330 years.

Sake brewing that is not bound by stereotypes, such as low-polished rice sake like the ``Macho'' series and this time's stockpiled rice, is attracting attention from all over the country.
Currently, the 18th generation brewer, Ryutaro Makino, continues to carry on the tradition while continuing to brew sake in a way that takes on the challenge of being a long-established brewery.

We have gained a lot of support from sake fans all over the country for our sake brewing, which is not bound by stereotypes, such as our representative brand ``Daigaku'', as well as the ``Macho'' series, which pursues high-quality taste despite low-polishing rice.

And this time, we have released ``Large Cup Kokokokokomai,'' which has become a hot topic in many media.
Not only does it have an impactful name and design, but it also embodies Makino Sake Brewery's unique desire to ``want more people to know about Japanese sake.''

A tradition that has been passed down for over 330 years and an innovation that continues to take on new challenges. This is a sake brewery that combines both.

18th generation brewer
Mr. Kenjiro Makino

While preserving tradition, we continue to create new products in the sake industry, such as the ``Macho'' series and ``Osakazuki Kokokokokomai,'' which go beyond the conventional wisdom of sake.

This time, we will talk about the behind-the-scenes story behind the development of ``Osakazuki Kokokokokomai'', the thoughts behind the product design, the commitment to sake brewing, and the ``reason for taking on the challenge'' that comes from being a long-established sake brewery that has been in operation for over 330 years.

Reason for introducing this sake brewery

Our current relationship with Makino Sake Brewery began when we were introduced to them by Takahashiyo Shoten, a sake retailer in Gunma Prefecture.

Previously, we were introduced to Ayadon, who is also an online sake brewery exchange student, and our hands-on SAKE staff participated in a sake event hosted by Takahashiyo Shoten. At that time, a relationship with Takahashiyo Shoten was born.
After that, we were introduced to Makino Sake Brewery.

While actually talking with them, I felt that although they are a sake brewery with a history of over 330 years, they are not satisfied with the status quo and continue to take on new challenges.

The much-talked-about ``Large Sake Kokokokokomai'' is not just a way to create a buzz, but is a book born out of the desire to ``make more people aware of Japanese sake.''

You can not only learn about the appeal of sake, but also learn about the sake brewery's philosophy and attitude towards challenges. I was convinced that this kind of online Sake Brewery Study Abroad® would be possible, so I asked him to appear on this occasion.
