Foodstuffs, Agricultural and Marine Products Tsukasabotan Shuzo Co., Ltd.

Our brewery was founded around 400 years ago in 1603 as a sake shop in the employ of Fukao Shigeyoshi who was the top advisor to the Tosa daimyo Yamauchi Kazutoyo. It was incorporated in 1918, and the Sakawa born patriot of the Meiji Restoration, Count Tanaka Mitsuaki (leader of the Rikuentai after the deaths of Sakamoto Ryoma and Nakaoka Shintaro) loved the sake so much that he gave it the name "Tsukasabotan". The meaning behind the name is "The tree peony (botan) is the king of flowers. Become the leader (tsukasa) of kings. In its long history as a sake shop, the brewery is said to have deep ties with the hero of Tosa, Sakamoto Ryoma, and is known as the brewery that was closest to him.
