The Akita Shurui Seizoh Brewery
In 1944, 12 sake brewers who had been brewing sake in the Edo, Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras merged and established Akita Shurui Seizoh, which was the beginning of Takashimizu. At that time, when the public was invited to change the brand to make a fresh start under the new system after the war, "Takashimizu" was selected from among 5,037 entries.
