Freihof Destillerie is located in the village of Lustenau, Austria where it was discovered that this Rhine-valley and the environs of Lake Constance offered supreme climatic conditions for horticulture. With over 40,000 fruit-trees, it was only natural that this bounty of nature should have been turned into cider and distillates. It was in 1885 that the grand-father of the present owner added a cider making and distilling facility to his country inn “Zum Freihof”, and from this humble origin Freihof Distillery received it’s name and direction.

The Kiuchi Brewery was established in 1823 by Kiuchi Gihei, the headman of Kounosu village. His family was collecting rice from farmers as land taxes for the Mito Tokugawa family. He began his brewery with the idea of using the remaining rice stocks in the warehouse. KIKU (chrysanthemum) is a crest of the imperial household, and SAKARI means 'property'. Mikio Kiuchi inherited the brewery legacy in 1950. It was the time when the sake industry flourished as the rapid growth of Japan's economy after the World War II. Although many sake breweries started mass producing low quality sake due to increased demand, Kiuchi Brewery maintained their policy of pursuing the best quality of sake with the optimum ingredients and craftsman-ship. www.kodawari.cc
