"Ushu Homare" was cultivated over 18 years by Tatsugoro Takagi, the 14th head of Takagi Sake Brewery which is widely known as premium sake " Juyondai ".
Naganuma company was the first to be recognized and entrusted by Takagi, and the potential of this precious sake rice is brought out in a rich flavor through our unique sake quality design.

Nagai City in Yamagata Prefecture is known as the "town of water, greenery, and flowers".
It is a gift from the abundant water sources of the Mogami River and the Asahi Mountains.
Mellow, natural and super soft water that springs from deep underground is a symbol of this fertile land.

The married couple who will become the next generation of Naganuma Souemon and their family-like employees brew sake by hand in the traditional way.
The dignified and tranquil atmosphere of the brewery is the product of their passion for sake.
They do it carefully, honestly, and with all their heart.

Naganuma company has been making sake for over 100 years, and they carefully use old-fashioned machinery such as the "koshiki" and "fune" presses.
The dignity of the dull color that comes with age.
It is the craftsmanship of handiwork, where tools are cherished and used to their full potential.
