Chikurin
The Marumoto Brewery was founded in 1867 at the base of the
Chikurin-ji Mountains, in Okayama-ken, one of Japan’s
most prized agricultural regions. The Brewery was originally
called Shimizu-ya, literally meaning “spring water store”
because it was built in the site of a great water source.
Now a national cultural landmark, the brewery is managed by
the sixth generation son, Niichiro Marumoto. After making the
Kamomidori brand for many years, the brewery introduced Chikurin
in 1990 as their new, limited release brand. Because of how
carefully they make this saké, in Japan, the brewery
sells it directly to a small network of qualified retailers
they choose themselves.
