The former Suwon Town (Suibara Town, now Agano City, Niigata Prefecture due to the merger of cities, towns and villages), which Hakuryu designated as a liquor production area, is located in the water town of Fukushimagata, which is connected to the Aga water system and overlooks the Iide Mountain Range in the distance. We have received the benefits of water in the form of "sake rice," which is ideal for sake brewing.The flow of Aga finally moistens the land of the Echigo Plain, and in autumn it is also a breadbasket of rice where the scenery of golden rice ears spreads all over.In the Edo period, "Echigo prefecture" was set up in the Tenryo of the Shogunate, and after the Meiji Restoration, when the abolition of the feudal clan was abolished, it was a town with a history and tradition as Suwon prefecture, the predecessor of Niigata prefecture. In winter, the messenger "Swan" from the north comes from Siberia, and it is also famous as a town with Hyoko, which is wintering. It is a place blessed with a climate suitable for sake brewing, such as "water," "rice," and "Yukiguni."
