History

The brewery was founded in 1662 and is a leading name in Nishinomiya, one of the five Nada districts. Its Hakushika label spread through the flow of Nada sake shipped to Edo. Good well water on its property later became known as Miyamizu, and the family also sold it. After wartime bombing damaged many Nada breweries, the Rokko brewery opened in 1993, combining Tanba toji techniques with automation.
