Distillery Information

The brewery that makes Chiyonosono was founded in 1896, but the name Chiyonosono was first adopted in 1920. Before that, we were a rice wholesaler, and at that time even handled an old sake rice called Kyushu Shinriki (which we have recently revived). Located in Yamaga City in Kumamoto Prefecture, which is well known throughout the country for many ancient burial sites, especially the well-decorated sites known as Chibusankofun.
