Distillery Information

Founded in 1778, the Fuji Brewery is now managed by the 13th generation of the Kato family, Ariyoshi Kato. Located in Tsuruoka City, a sake-brewing hub in Yamagata prefecture, Eiko Fuji embodies the style of Yamagatalight, clean, and delightfully fruity. Eiko Fuji means Glorious Mount Fuji. The name is a tribute to Japans national symbol and the brewerys aspiration in making sake. Ariyoshi Kato is the 13th generation President of the Fuji Brewing Company. After graduating from college, he started a career in finance in Tokyo. The brewery was on solid footing under his fathers leadership. However, Kato-san saw the potential for something newa revival of something already great. He returned home to Yamagata and joined the brewery, becoming President under his fathers leadership as Chairman. As he took the reins, he began to innovate and change. He attracted new talent and embraced new ideas. Under his leadership, Eiko Fuji has grown in size and renovated almost every area of the brewery. Despite their success, Kato-san works in the brewery, side-by-side with his brewing team, making sake. He leads as a team, with his two trusted, key managers, Shigeyuki Yoneyama, his marketing director and Kodai Kato (no family relation), his brewmaster. Eiko Fuji is the story of how a brewery that is two years younger than the United States, thirteen generations old, is still innovating, improving, and embracing new people and ideas.
