Profile: The brewery was established in 1902, and the Nanbu Bijin brand name came to be in 1951. The Iwate area used to be called Nanbu (South) and is a place rich with nature, abundant water and fertile soil. In Japan, most breweries of the time made quite rough, inelegant and sweet sake. But, Nanbu Bijin wanted to make clean & beautiful sake like a fair southern maiden. Hence, the name Nanbu Bijin, or Southern Beauty.
