富士高砂酒造
A hundred years of water

Takasago
One Hundred Years of Rain.
Mt. Fuji's snowmelt takes a century to reach us. We have been waiting here since 1830.

The Mountain Brews the Sake.
We Simply Help.
Snow falls, melts, and travels through layers of volcanic rock for nearly one hundred years. When it finally rises beneath the brewery, it is ultra-soft, clear, and alive.
Since 1830, the brewers of Takasago have paired that water with local rice and the patient discipline inherited from Noto toji.
“Sake does not betray you.”
The water journey
100 Years in the Making.
Every Drop.
Mt. Fuji snowmelt filters through volcanic basalt for a century before emerging as spring water.

The Noto Way
Patience as a Brewing Technique
A method shaped by living cultures, delicate water, and work that refuses shortcuts.
Yamahai Starter
Native lactic-acid bacteria are trusted to build depth naturally, slowly, and without haste.
Ultra-Soft Water
Gentle spring water asks for longer fermentation and rewards it with a rounded finish.
Living Koji
The brewery's microbial environment and careful hands shape every Yamahai starter.
