Kakuboshi was founded in 1908 in Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture. The brewery was hit extremely hard by several strokes of fate: after a major fire in 1929, the buildings were completely destroyed. The following year, the family rebuilt the company headquarters on the same site. Sake Kura has been a registered tangible cultural asset of Japan since 2003. During the devastating earthquake in 2011, the first floor of the building was washed away and the second floor was severely damaged. The brewery was completely rebuilt in a former school in May 2016 and uses state-of-the-art technology. The brewery's sake has won many awards and is considered to be particularly light and fresh. Its aroma is not too strong and goes particularly well with seafood, the culinary flagship of Miyagi Prefecture. Kakuboshi is a small company with 30 employees, half of whom work in production.
