About
Umeichirin Shuzo is a sake brewery in Sanbu, a city in the center of the Kujukuri Plain in Chiba Prefecture. In 1984 (Showa 59), Wakabayashi Shuzoten (founded in 1868, Meiji 1; sake brand Wakamidori) and Nakata Shoten (founded in 1912, Taisho 1; sake brand Shogen) merged to establish Sanbu Shuzoten, which released the Umeichirin brand. The company took its current name in 1993 (Heisei 5). The brand name and the company name come from a haiku by Hattori Ransetsu. The brewery is committed to using locally grown Chiba rice, and since the 2020 brewing year (Reiwa 2) all of the rice it uses has come from Chiba Prefecture. It brews a wide range of sake, from Daiginjo to Junmai, Honjozo, Futsushu and koshu (aged sake), and continues to make everyday sake rooted in its local community.},
In 1985 (Showa 60), Wakabayashi Shuzoten (founded in 1868, Meiji 1) and Nakata Shoten (founded in 1912, Taisho 1) merged to form Sanbu Shuzoten. On October 1, 1993 (Heisei 5), the company was renamed Umeichirin Shuzo Co., Ltd.
