The brewry is located in an area called Obara, one of the area where the prefecture name Ibaraki was originated from.

There are still historical remains in a property. The history we have a bit different from other breweries; our family started as samurai warriors with a mission of revitalizing the economy. With the purpose, we started brewing sake.

In fact, a head of family used to have two names; Gensayuemon as a samurai, and Gen-uemon as a brewer.
