"If it can become this mellow and delicious, let's bet everything on brewing aged sake!" Driven by this realization and through years of relentless trial and error, we finally perfected our mellow, aged sake (Koshu).
At the time, aging sake was an extremely rare practice. We even received "guidance" from the tax office, who told us, "Stop the aging process—sell your stock quickly and pay your taxes." However, we stubbornly refused. By holding fast to our convictions and persisting with the maturation process, we successfully revived the traditional Japanese culture of aged sake.

About The Brewery
Shiraki (白木恒助商店)
The Shiraki Brewery is located in Gifu City, which stands close to the center of Japan.Near our brewery, there is a beautiful river called the Nagara-gawa, which surrounding environment is rich in nature.Our brewery was founded in 1835.Approximately one hundred years ago, our brewery was severely damaged from the Nohi-earthquake.Although it was a struggle to overcome the damages, when we finally did, we decided to name our product “DARUMA-MASAMUNE”.This was because the word “DARUMA” (Dharma doll) has a meaning deriving from the shape of the doll, “Although it falls over, it always rises”
