Sake brewery

李白酒造

Rihaku Shuzo

Chugoku Region: Shimane

The Rihaku brewery was founded in 1882 in the town of Matsue in the Shimane region. The skill of its master brewers has enabled Rihaku to win gold medals for several years in a row.

For some backstory, Rihaku, a brilliant and fruitful poet, resided for years at the Emperor’s Court before falling from grace and wandering from inn to inn. He then explored the euphoria that comes with intoxication: “I drink a bottle and write a hundred poems,” he liked to say. He died at sixty-one years of age, drowned, according to legend, trying to embrace the reflection of the moon on the water.
