The Seven
Spearsmen
Shichi Hon Yari is named after the seven
spearsmen who became legends at the battle of Shizugatake fought
just outside the town of Kinomoto in 1583. In this battle, these
seven warriors crushed their enemy and brought victory to their
leader, the warlord, Hideyoshi. One battle later, Hideyoshi
defeated the Nobunaga clan and secured his dominance over Japan.
When the Tomita’s started shipping their saké
to the new capital of Tokyo, in the Edo Period, they named their
sake after these great warriors and created the “saké
of victory.”
