The high quality rice produced in Saga Plain turns into lovely Sake with the help of crystal-clear natural water and skillful brewers.
More than 800 years ago, Sagan Sake was presented to Kamakura Shogunate as a local specialty of Hizen Domain. In the early Edo period, lots of local breweries were established, making the base of today’s Saga breweries. In the late Edo period, 10th lord of Saga, Naomasa Nabeshima encouraged citizens to produce sake. As a result, the culture of Sagan Sake was flourished. This long history and superior techniques have been passed down from generation to generation.
