Pursuing locally produced sake that is in tune with the times

Kusatsu was once a post town on the Tokaido road where people continued to come and go. Ota Sake Brewery, which still carefully brews sake on the old road, was founded as a sake brewery in the early Meiji period, but its history can be traced back to the Muromachi period. His ancestor was Dokan Ota, a Muromachi military commander who built Edo Castle and worked on famous castles throughout the country, and during the era of Tokugawa Iemitsu, he served as the governor of Kusatsu-juku by order of the shogunate. Sake brewing began in order to make effective use of the fields owned in Kusatsu after the abolition of the feudal domain. Currently, in addition to Fuenzo in Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture, Chiyoda Brewery in Higashinada Ward, Hyogo Prefecture, and Ritto Winery in Ritto City, Shiga Prefecture.

We are particular about brewing sake using 100% Shiga ingredients, and grow Yamada Nishiki organically in our own fields. The raw water used is well water from the Kusatsu factory. Sake brewed with rice grown in Shiga's rich water sources and soil has the rich, soft flavor and sweetness of rice, giving you a taste you'll never get tired of drinking.

In addition to the representative brand "Dokan," there is also the "Kokoro" series, which uses Shiga's sake rice such as Ginfubuki to make the most of its individuality. The first floor of Dokanzo, which is adjacent to Fuenzo, is a shop, and the second floor is a museum, which can be visited for free.
