Company Profile

Every morning, the walls of Ojiya’s historic brewery echo with the same bold promise all Takanoi employees have made for generations as they proudly proclaim their commitment to ‘contribute to the local community by providing unmatched joy and enrichment to all in a spirit of true harmony.

At Takanoi, we proudly embrace the spirit of Wagokoro, striving daily to uphold the strong traditions and culture of the Japanese people and promote shared prosperity within our communities. We brew our sake using only the best ingredients, sourced directly from the wonderful blessings of nature here in Ojiya.

It is our hope that as we disseminate Ojiya’s finest sake to the furthest reaches of Japan’s shores and beyond, all those who enjoy it might be connected in some small way back to the beauty of Ojiya, her people, and the broader Niigata region we call home.
