The Yachiya family has been crafting sake since 1583, originally made exclusively for the leading general of the Kaga region, Maeda Toshiie. When Maeda moved to Kanazawa City, he brought Mr. Yachiya with him, and in 1628, the brand name Kagatsuru was established giving a nod to the Kaga region itself and Tsuru, the Japanese name for crane, believed to live for a thousand years, bringing good fortune and happiness.

Yachiya Brewery boasts nearly 400 years of history, and its brewery is designated as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property by Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs. Using high-quality sake rice, including locally contracted Gohyakumangoku and Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, Kagatsuru reflects the rich brewing heritage of the region.
