In December of 2016, the Yamagata Sake Brewers Association received the “GI Yamagata” certification from the Japanese government. The GI system is aimed at protecting the name of producing areas as intellectual property: for example, the world-famous “Bordeaux,” “Champagne,” and “Scotch.”
In 1991, specially selected Ji-Sake (the sake of quality brewed by smaller breweries not widely
distributed, even in Japan) from komedokoro (home of the highest quality of rice) breweries were
added to our product selection.
In Japan, there is a great deal of highly appraised, quality sake produced with the influence of unique climates, regional customs, food cultures, and sake-brewing techniques. Yamagata Sake is the first Japanese sake to be awarded a GI designation that indicates an entire prefecture as the producing area. We can now offer sake branded “Yamagata,” meaning that the sake is made from ingredients originating in Yamagata, and is also brewed, stored, and bottled in Yamagata.
Yamagata Sake, well known as “smooth, pure, and delicious Japanese sake,” is created through the combination of a natural environment with distinct seasons and the spirit of rice farmers and sake-brewers.

Rokkasen is located in the foothills of the Ohu Mountain Range, near the center of Yamagata Prefecture, and sometimes referred to as the “backbone of Japan.” The name Rokkasen means “six poet laureates” and is taken from a group of six great poets representative from two ancient imperial anthologies known as the Kokinshu and the Shin-kokinshu. These thoughts of our ancestors, and the pure heart of the brewers comes is revealed, and this reverberates in peoples’ hearts much like a poem. We want to beloved in this way, and with this thought we named our sake.
