Kitagawa Honke Brewery was founded in 1657 by Funaya Shirobee (鮒屋四郎兵衛), who ran lodgings for river passengers on the Uji River near the Kangetsukyo Bridge. Funaya no Sake (鮒屋の酒) became a well-known brand and was exported to Osaka and Edo (modern-day Tōkyō). Kitagawa Honke produces a sake called Tomiō (富翁), a name taken from and inspired by the Chinese 'Four Books and Five Classics' (四書五經). The name signifies "those who are rich in spirit will enjoy a long, happy life." Since 1983, when the company first put Tomiō forward at the Annual Japan Sake Awards, their flagship sake has won 18 gold awards. In 1996, Kitagawa Honke opened a so-called "antenna shop" (アンテナショップ) named Okinaya (おきな屋), where they sell their rice and sake.

This is a light and fragrant spring sake (Harunomai 春の舞 means "spring dance") with a nose of green apples, custard and floral hints. It is slightly dry and displays a delicate yet elusive sweetness that melts into prickly acidity, leaving a bitter and peppery aftertaste. It is described as "hannari", Kyoto-ben for bright and cheerful.
