Hakuro Sake Brewery
Shinichiro Noda
Since its foundation in 1751, HAKURO SHUZO has been playing a part of sake culture surviving rapid changes in history in Echigo-Nagaoka, present Nagaoka city, Niigata prefecture.
In 1882, given over a brewery owned by the lord of Nagaoka clan, the MAKINO family, it started to use the family’s crest, “Mitsu-Kashiwa” and succeeded a brand name “HAKURO”.
As time goes by, people engaged in sake production have changed, but our posture to “produce delicious sake to please many people” has been maintained till now.

Message
Founded in 1751, HAKURO SHUZO has lasted for 270 years. Sake production of “HAKURO” has been handed down by many Tojis and craftsmen with the spirits of the founders, the lord of the MAKINO family and Ecchu-ya, Ecchu shop. While succeeding the posture and skills for producing good sake, HAKURO SHUZO has continued to make improvements to change itself in keeping with the change of the times. To play a role in the history, I will take over sake production from the former experienced Toji. Although I have a limited experience as a Toji, I will devote myself to sake production in cooperation with co-workers.
Our main brand, “SANZUI”, having been loved by our customers since it was first on sale in 2015, has now got renewed. A part of Chinese character, Sanzui represents water and is used to add to other Chinese characters to make meanings. Our “SANZUI” expresses a starting point of sake production that can only begin when water regarded as life of a brewery meets traditional skills. Returning to the starting point, I am determined to take a new step forward with “SANZUI” to pursue the betterment of our sake.
We, all workers of HAKURO SHUZO will continue to produce our sake “HAKURO” with smile and our whole heart so that it will make our customers smile. We all are looking forward to making you smile with our sake.
