Based in Shonai, Yamagata Prefecture, Kikuisami Brewery is located between Mt. Chokai and Mt. Gassan, with access to the excellent quality water of Akagawa River. Since 1897, the native brewers of Kikuisami have employed traditional methods to produce high-quality sake.
The name ‘36 Guardians’ originates from a traditional tale -
‘In the Middle Ages, while protecting a princess who had been chased out of the eastern provinces, the 36 vassals crossed the mountains and arrived at the Shonai Plain. There, they found peace, put down roots, and the town was born.’
