Kamotsuru Sake Brewery is located in Saijō, Higashihiroshima. Originally a soy sauce manufacturer, the business was later converted into a sake brewery. In 1873, Kimura Wahei (木村和平) named the brewery Kamotsuru (賀茂鶴). Kamo is the place name and another word for sake, meaning "to produce sake", combined with the word "crane". On the label, two cranes and Mount Fuji represent trust and the best quality. In 1892, Wahei's son, Shizuhiko (木村静彦), became the first president of the company and began to develop the organisation, marketing, and the export overseas. Kamotsuru Sake Brewery was formally established in 1928 as a joint-stock company. In 1951, the Tokyo branch office was opened. In 1958, the company released a gold leaf, Daiginjō called "Tokusai Gold Kamotsuru" (特製ゴールド賀茂鶴). This made the company a household name throughout Japan. At the same time, Saijō came to be known as a brewing region on a par with Fushimi and Nada. The company's products are served at sushi restaurants such as Sukiyabashi Jirō (すきやばし次郎), Sushi Mizutani (鮨水谷) and Sushi Matsunami (鮨松波), all of which are affiliated with Yoshino.
