About the brewery
Rokkasen was founded by the merger of five small local sake breweries approximately 50 years ago. It is a true Yamagata sake brewery as 98% of the rice used to brew their sake is from Yamagata. All the brewers working there are highly friendly and forming a good team. There is a term Wajo-ryoshu (和醸良酒), meaning “good atmosphere, good sake”, in Japanese. Visiting the brewery, you will witness what it means.
Most importantly, you will be able to experience the actual sake brewing work on site if you visit Rokkasen through Story of Sake Platform. They would like you to know more about sake and to become the sake evangelist.
