About Hassen
The brewery was established in 1740, but the Mutsu Hassen brand was only launched in 1998 by the current owner, 8th generation Shozaburo Komai. Following that, his young sons have taken over and been producing many types of Mutsu Hassen sake from classic to modern styles. Today, they focus on producing environmentally friendly, healthy, and delicious sake from Aomori Prefecture that uses rice grown in Aomori, the finest yeast, and clear spring water from the Kanisawa area in Hachinohe to perfect the brewing process.
