Our ancestor is Ota Dokan, a master builder of Edo Castle. We were born in Kusatsu, a post town on the Tokaido road, east of Kyoto, which was once a bustling road. On this old road that still retains a faint resemblance to its past, we continue to brew local sake, just as we did in the past, offering affordable, high-quality sake that can be enjoyed daily with friends, something that is not special but simply delicious. This famous sake bears the name "Dokan," named after Ota Dokan, a Muromachi warlord who built the foundations of Edo Castle.
