Yorokobi no Izumi was a local sake from Kurashiki produced by Nakata Shuzo, the flagship brand of a brewery with a long history dating back to 1773.
The brand name was bestowed when the sake was presented to Emperor Showa during the Army Grand Maneuvers in October 1930, and it was cherished as an auspicious name meaning 'Spring of Joy.'
Brewed in the Yobimatsu-cho area of Kurashiki, it was known as a traditionally crafted sake beloved by the local community.
The brewery ceased operations in 2009 and the sake is no longer produced, but it remains an important brand in the history of sake brewing in Kurashiki.
