This is a sake factory owned by the Sumikawa family and relatives, which is a rice-based commercial company, and officially started brewing sake at that time. Named by the late wife of the first master Kuramoto Tamesinen for the brand name ``Oriental Beauty,'' which is also the name of the guardian of the chief brewer.

When he was in his third year at university, he entered ``Takagi Sake Brewery'' (currently the 14th generation) and was currently a master brewer of Takagi Sake Brewery.
