The Kuzuhara family was said to be a county samurai from Totsukawa village, Yoshino-gun, Nara Prefecture, and began a liquor brewery in Tondabayashi in 1781. However, the current main house was built in the early 19th century, and it is considered to be the reconstruction. According to the old map in 1710, it can be found that there was a Kaisho, a meeting house, to the east of the residence of the Kuzuhara family. No remain is not left now, but the name of Kaisho-cho has been derived from it.
