About Hagino Shuzo

Founded in 1840, the name Hagi no Tsuru is derived from the old name for the town where the brewery was first situated – originally Hagi no Mura, ‘The Town of the Blush Clover’ – now referred to as Kannari Arikabe. This was the first brewery in Miyagi Prefecture to move into specific grades of sake, after pioneering figure Yohei Sato acquired three decades of working experience in other breweries.
