The name Asabiraki translates New Dawn. It is derived from rowing poetry said to be used for the ceremonial ship launching of the Manyoshu vessel in the 8th Century. The name was used by 7th generation Nanbu Clan samurai Genzo Murai when he started brewing sake in 1871 as a result of the Sword Abolishment Edict. It stands as a metaphor towards repurposing the samurai spirit; facing a "New Dawn" of new era.
