Sekiya Brewery Main Office

Sekiya Brewery's Main Office is a historic sake brewery founded in 1864 in Shitara, Okumikawa, Aichi Prefecture. For over 150 years, the brewery has pursued traditional techniques and innovative sake brewing in a rich natural environment. Houraisen, their flagship brand, is not only enjoyed by locals as an everyday drink, but is also widely cherished as a sake for celebrating special occasions. At the main brewery, they place a strong emphasis on the quality of their ingredients, which is the foundation of sake brewing. The sake rice is polished in-house, and in some cases the brewers even cultivate the rice themselves, demonstrating meticulous attention to every detail from ingredients to flavor. They are also known for their commitment to making the most of their resources, including producing their own alcohol from sake lees. At the direct sales shop, visitors can enjoy exclusive sakes, including freshly pressed undiluted, unpasteurized sake sold by the volume, as well as a wide selection of original products and sake-related gifts. Some of their popular souvenirs include sake cakes made with the luxuriously fragrant Houraisen Daiginjo Kuu and food products made with koji and sake lees, both by-products of sake brewing. The flavors, created by the brewery's history and the rich nature of Okumikawa, are recommended not only to sake fans but also to tourists seeking to experience the local culture and cuisine. Your encounters here are sure to become unforgettable memories of your trip.
