Urano Sake Brewery

Urano Sake Brewery was established in 1864. Seishu Kikuishi, the brewery’s signature product, takes its name from Sanage-jinja Shrine, after Kikuishi stones, a natural monument found near the shrine on Mt. Sanageyama, a sacred mountain in Mikawa. The brewery has maintained its traditional handmade brewing method for the roughly 150 years since its establishment, all the while seeking opportunities to spread the joy of local sake to more and more people. Seishu Kikuishi features a mild taste and pleasant aftertaste. Come and visit the brewery shop, where you can sample sake.
