TAKARA SHUZO

Brewery/Distillery: Takara Shuzo International Co., Ltd.

Founded: 1842


Takara Group was founded in 1842, by the Yomo family in Kyoto’s Fushimi district. They have only brewed sake until 1864, where shochu, mirin, and shirozake were introduced by them. In 1925, the company was then reincorporated as Takara Shuzo Co., Ltd., with Usaburo Yomo as their first president. Together with Kurakichi Ohmiya, they extended the sales of Takara-brand shochu and mirin products across all of Japan, thereby creating the foundation of today's Takara Group.
