Sake “Chifunoya” is a local sake brewed in Gifu with dedication to quality, thanks to the brewing techniques passed down by Echigo brewers. Established in 1909 (Meiji 42) by founder Shigekura Nakajima, the brewery named it “Chifunoya” after the local giant rock formation, “Chigoiwa,” evoking a thousand years of history. It’s a serene and aromatic local sake from Gifu, crafted with an exquisite balance reflecting the climate and terroir of the region.

Established in Meiji 42 (1909), our sake brewery is relatively new in the industry. Prior to that, we had a history of two generations brewing soy sauce and miso. Our unique ‘super refined’ method, which suppresses the characteristic funkiness of sake, is known for its refreshing taste and has been widely beloved in our local region, the Tokai area. This region is a major producer of pottery, with a thick clayey soil that yields exceptionally soft water, even among other soft water sources. Taking advantage of this ideal environment for sake brewing, we have been crafting crisp local sake for four generations
