Kobayashi Mokusaburo Shoten was a sake brewery that once existed in Utsunomiya City and is now closed.
The brand "Nanatsuido" was named after the "Nanamizu" (seven famous waters) of Utsunomiya, reflecting the city's rich water culture. Utsunomiya has long been blessed with high-quality well water, and many breweries once utilized this blessing.
While detailed records of its founding year and history are limited, it played a part in the local sake culture as one of the breweries carrying the tradition in Utsunomiya. It produced brands like "Nanatsuido" and "Daieiyu." The name "Daieiyu" means "great heroic courage," reflecting a naming culture from the Meiji to Showa eras that emphasized good fortune and bravery.
Even after its closure, its brand names are remembered as part of Tochigi's sake history, contributing to the development of the local sake culture in the prefectural capital.
