Sekihara Shuzo, founded in 1716 (Kyoho 1), is a venerable brewery in Nagaoka, Niigata, with a history spanning over 300 years. Originally known as 'Tokawa Shuzo,' it is a prestigious establishment that once earned the rank of 'East Yokozuna' (Grand Champion) in historical sake rankings. Located in the Sekihara district, where the heritage of the Nagaoka Domain remains strong, the brewery steadfastly preserves traditional techniques while evolving with the times. Its representative brand, 'Gunki,' bears an auspicious name meaning 'a gathering of tortoises brings longevity of ten thousand years.' Today, as a member of the G-communication Group, it continues to protect its long legacy and deliver the dignified flavors nurtured by Nagaoka's samurai culture to a modern audience.
