The Brewery: Yorozuya Brewery has a long, beautiful and romantic history.  Founded 230 years ago, the name of their brand, “Shunnouten” comes from a particular event in their past.  A female poet named Akiko Yosano stopped at the brewery, and upon drinking the sake brewed there, she was inspired to compose a poem, and compared the feeling of drinking at the Yorozuya brewery to hearing spring warblers in the temples.  It relates to an even earlier song from the Tang dynasty, but that’s another story.  Spring warbler, in Japanese, is Shunnouten.  What a compliment!  The poem is engraved in stone at the brewery- please visit it sometime yourself.
