STORY

The Story of 青木酒造

Founded in 1831 in Koga, Ibaraki, this family-run brewery makes Gokeiji ("the greatest joy"). Its sake has collected a string of international awards, including IWC trophies in 2016 and 2022 and a SAKE Competition 2025 committee chair's prize. Eighth-generation successor Chisa Aoki, 27, now leads the small operation, which since 2022 has also produced a premium line pressed by gravity alone — a method called muatsu-shibori.
