      No século VIII, o Palácio Imperial em Heiankyo, atual Kyoto, passou a admitir trabalhadores para produzir o saquê. Assim, era mantido o controle de toda a produção da bebida para as oferendas religiosas, para as festividades e para o consumo da corte. Na época, o saquê era de uso restrito da corte imperial.
