Ozaki Brewery was founded in 1860 and is the only sake brewery on the west coast of Aomori Prefecture. The brewery is located at the foot of the Shirakami Mountains, a World Natural Heritage Site known not only for its beautiful coastline and sunsets but also for the habitat of the Kumagera woodpecker. The Andōsuigun (安東水軍) brand name derives from the Andō clan (安東), a samurai family that descended from Abe no Sadato. They controlled the northern part of Mutsu and Dewa provinces from the Kamakura Period (1185-1333) to the end of the Sengoku Period and founded Tosaminato (十三湊), a famous northern port settlement. The label depicts the image of the setting sun on the majestic Japan Sea. The brewery uses spring water from the Shirakami Mountains.
