Founded in 1862 in the renowned sake region of Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture, Toyokuni Brewery is a historic house that has found new brilliance in the modern era.

The name reflects a philosophy of "taking each step steadily to create a sake with its own identity." Ibuki is celebrated for its remarkable softness, balanced sweetness, and a clean finish that mirrors the purity of mountain spring water. By combining traditional Aizu craftsmanship with meticulous small-batch production, Toyokuni Brewery creates expressive sakes that embody both the resilience and the gentle elegance of its Northern Japanese terroir.
