The oldest brewery in Shimane Prefecture, it has a history of over 420 years. The founder, Ukyo-no-jo Takamasa Migita (Dharma name "Onyo Somi"), started brewing sake by utilizing the clear spring water and fertile land of Masuda.
"Somi Market," started by the founder "Onyo Somi," was held to restore the prosperity of the town after the relocation of the Masuda Domain, and became the lifeline of Masuda's economy until the early Showa period.
Using groundwater from the Masuda River as brewing water, they protect traditional methods while also developing innovative products such as "Momoiro Shizuku" using pink yeast. The representative brand "Somi" was named after the founder's Dharma name "Onyo Somi" and has been loved by locals for over 400 years.
