TSUJI HONTEN
Gozenshu Brewery (Tsuji Honten Co., Ltd.) was founded in 1804 in Katsuyama, Maniwa-shi City, Okayama Prefecture, by Yahei Tsuji, a merchant who turned sake-making. From its inception, the company was chosen to supply the household of Lord Miura, the Daimyo (Lord) of the province. His sakes then take the name of "Gozenshu" - sake dedicated to the Lord. Sake was also popular with locals under the brand name "Manetsu".
