Distillery Information

Izumibashi Sake Brewery was founded in 1857 during the Edo period, and is based in Ebina City, Kanagawa. The brewery is a “cultivation brewery,” meaning they grow and mill most of their sake rice themselves, allowing full control of quality from farm to bottle. They produce only junmai sake and frequently use traditional brewing methods, including kimoto-zukuri, to emphasize depth and umami in their sakes. Their water source, drawn from underground streams from Mt. Tanzawa, adds mineral richness to their products. The brewery’s philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that “sake starts with rice,” and they work with local farmers and field cultivation to preserve rice heritage, environment, and traditional sake-making techniques.
