Takenami Shuzo
The brewery believed to be the oldest in Aomori Prefecture is located in Itayanagi, a town famous for its apples: Takenami Shuzo. Founded in 1645 during the early Edo period, the first generation moved from Tsuruga in Echizen Province to the Tsugaru Plain and began brewing sake in Itayanagi. It is recorded as the oldest brewery in Tsugaru in the 'Tsugaru Kokin Igyoki' (Chronicle of Great Deeds of Tsugaru), and it has quietly carved out a history spanning over 370 years. Its flagship brand is 'Iwaki Masamune.' Although there were hardships that once forced the brewery to leave its premises, it achieved its long-held dream of reviving in the land of Itayanagi in 2024. This is a flavorful sake imbued with a long history and a warmth that makes you want to enjoy it warmed (kan). Please take your time to savor it while feeling the weight of its history.
