Working at Yoshinogawa

The Yoshinogawa taste, crafted in our daily brewing.

The Sake Division is at the heart of the Yoshinogawa taste, handling every stage of sake production in-house—from rice preparation, koji making and mashing to fermentation control, pressing and filtration. From traditional handcrafted brewing to efficient, precise large-scale brewing using the latest technology, we brew in the best way for each sake's character and batch size.

Turning the brewer's vision into a reliable bottle.

The Production Division bottles the sake brewed by the Sake Division and turns it into finished products. Our work goes far beyond filling bottles. To preserve the Bimi Tanrei profile intended by the brewers, we take great care at every step—from bottling through storage—to minimize heat, oxygen exposure and other stresses on the sake. Delivering delicious sake is only part of our responsibility; protecting safety and quality all the way to the table is equally important. We work to uncompromising hygiene and quality standards.

Carrying the value of Yoshinogawa from person to person.

The Sales Division is the front line connecting Yoshinogawa with our customers. We convey, in our own words, the passion and story behind each bottle, and work with liquor stores and restaurants to find better ways to reach drinkers. We also create places of discovery—sales floors, menus and sake events. Feedback from business meetings is brought back to the company and put to use. When a bottle someone chooses makes their table a little richer, we get to nurture that joy together with our customers. The more we build trust with people, the wider our proposals can reach. In our own words, we carry the value of Yoshinogawa into the future.

Turning encounters with Yoshinogawa into memorable experiences.

Our directly operated stores are where customers meet Yoshinogawa face to face. At the SAKE Museum Joh-Gura and the Yoshinogawa CoCoLo Niigata store, we don't just sell sake—we also share its flavors and the stories behind it. We guide first-time sake buyers in an easy-to-understand way and help them find a bottle to suit their taste and the occasion. Through tastings, exhibits, events and everyday conversations, we create opportunities for people to discover, enjoy and fall in love with Yoshinogawa. As the point of contact closest to our customers, we carefully listen to their voices and deliver experiences that are truly Yoshinogawa.
