About the Brewery

Kubota Brewery Co., Ltd. (Fukui, Japan)

Founded in 1753 in Maruoka, Fukui Prefecture, Kubota Brewery is one of the region’s most historic and respected sake producers, carrying more than 270 years of brewing heritage.

The brewery is dedicated to expressing the natural character of Fukui through the use of locally cultivated rice and pure underground water drawn from the same water system that nourishes the surrounding rice fields. This commitment to local ingredients allows each sake to reflect the unique terroir of the region.

At the heart of Kubota Brewery’s philosophy is the traditional principle of “Ichikoji, Ni-moto, San-zukuri”—the belief that exceptional sake begins with carefully cultivated koji, a properly developed yeast starter, and harmony throughout the brewing process. By combining generations of craftsmanship with continuous innovation, the brewery creates sake known for its rich umami, refined texture, and clean finish.

Product Information

Arabashiri Selection

Only the finest Arabashiri portion is selected for bottling. Arabashiri refers to the first sake that naturally flows from the pressing process without the application of additional pressure. This prized portion is celebrated for its purity, vibrancy, and expressive fruit-forward character.

5-Year Aging Process

After pressing, the sake is matured at low temperatures for five years. This extended aging process allows the flavors to develop greater depth and complexity while softening the texture, resulting in an exceptionally refined super-premium sake.
