Kinouchi Honten

Kinouchi Honten is a historic brewery continuing since the Bunsei era in Aizumi-cho, Itano-gun, Tokushima Prefecture. In this land that once flourished as a distribution center for Awa Indigo, it brews sake upholding the philosophy of "Awa Juwari" while protecting tradition.
"Awa Juwari" is an initiative to create genuine local sake of Tokushima using 100% Tokushima-grown sake rice and water within the prefecture. For brewing water, it uses water from the Yoshino River system, which is underflow water from the Mt. Tsurugi system and Sanuki Mountains. Maximizing the goodness of ingredients nurtured by Tokushima's rich climate, it continues to brew sake with umami and sharpness, optimal as a sake served with meals that enhances cuisine.
