＊『佐渡屋』の由来 ＊

『佐渡屋』の屋号は、先祖が現在の新潟県佐渡島から約500年以上前、武田家に金山技術者として招請され、山梨に移り住んだことに由来しています。

私どもの先祖は、佐渡や甲州の地で砂金や金の鉱脈を探し、武田家の甲州軍団の資金、財政を支え、徳川幕府初代佐渡金山奉行所役人を務めた後に、再度甲府に戻り、甲府金座で野中金といわれる大判小判の補助金貨鋳造をしておりました。

徳川秀忠二代将軍により金座が江戸に移された際に、『佐渡屋』の屋号にて商家となりました。
時代の流れとともに扱う商品は変わりましたが、佐渡屋創業以来の先祖の想いを代々引き継ぎ、山梨の地で商売を続けさせていただいております。

About the Family of SADOYA

The origin of the name SADOYA dates back to fifteenth century.
Approximately five hundred years ago, our progenitor who was an geologist and an minting engineer relocated from SADO Island to KOFU under request by TAKEDA NOBUTORA, father of legendary SAMURAI warrior TAKEDA SHINGEN.
The family of SADOYA since then served in developing goldmines in Yamanashi region.
After serving TAKEDA Family as distinguished funder and warrior, they served TOKUGAWA regime as local officials and also opened a minting company, similar to bank at current days, in Kofu.
When the second shogun, TOKUGAWA HIDETADA moved the minting facility to EDO(Tokyo), the family paid homage to its origin and named their business SADOYA and remain the same to this day.
The family changed business as generations went by, however still confident with the forefather’s spirit to serve our community.
