History (Origin)
The brewing business developed in Tondabayashi Jinaimachi from the Edo era, as it used well water blessed with abundant underflow water (hard water) from the source of a river at the Mount Kongo. There were as many as ten sake liquor brewers including the Ishida family, the Sugiyama family whose former residence was designated as an important cultural property of the country, the Nakamura family designated as a Osaka tangible cultural property of Osaka prefecture, the Kuzuhara family and the Hashimoto family early in the Meiji period.

The Ishida family, drawn on the illustrated map in the picture (right), started sake liquor brewing as the brewing stock (production license) was distributed from the Sugiyama family and the Nakamura family to the family and they moved from East Itamochi of the neighborhood to Tondabayashi Jinaimachi in the Meiji period. The storehouse for brewing sake liquor was dismantled from the residence of Sugiyama family and reconstructed at the premises of the Ishida family, which had existed until around 1976 or 1977 and was demolished due to intense damages of the building.

The Ishida family solely ran the sake brewery for the wartime and after the war as well, though the local brewing business almost discontinued before and after the economic crisis of the early Showa era. (1930-31) The brewery was used as storage tank manufacturing factory for military use at the wartime.

In brewing at that time, brewing rice all over the country including "Yamada Nishiki rice” produced in  Hokuriku region and “500 Mangoku rice" produced in Oumi region were used as raw materials, and a chief brewer called Touji and skilled workers in brewing sake called Kurando from Tajima district were engaged every year during a period from November in winter until early April in the next year. The annual production quantity at the golden age after the war amounted to 2,000 koku units equivalent to 200,000 bottles by sho equivalent to 0.477 U.S. gallon and they wholesaled it with a tanker to "Gekkeikan" of Fushimi, Kyoto by pail selling.

The family produced the banri-no-Haru brand as sweet local famous sake and it was a warehouse distributor who was able to continue selling it in Minami Kawachi region and Osaka city, but unfortunately the family discontinued its business around 1982-83.

Features of the buildings
The big storehouse for sake brewery constructed in the Meiji era still matches into the scenery of historic townscape and the prosperity of the brewing business at that time can be remembered.
