According to documents remaining from our family about the sake trade, our family was founded in 1695 (Genroku 8). This was around the time when Hida came under direct control of the shogunate and the shogunate issued an order to demolish Takayama Castle. As the family originally lived in Ishikawa Prefecture, the store was named "Kagaya," and the "Kagaya" name is even dyed on the noren curtain at the entrance. The current head of the family is the 16th generation of the long-established store. The name "Himuro" comes from the fact that the finished sake was shipped "raw" without any heat added, using the brewery's unique storage method and product management.
