概要

Named after sacred Mt. Gassan, one of the three Dewa Sanzan pilgrimage mountains, this brewery uses subterranean water filtered through volcanic rock. Located in Sagae city, Gassan produces clean, mineral-driven sakes that reflect the mountain's spiritual purity. Their Ginjo and Junmai lines are consistent favorites at Yamagata prefectural competitions.
