Founded in 1859 during the Edo period, Suwa Shuzo is located in the historic post town of Chizu. Situated near the source of the Sendai River, which once carried sand to the Tottori Sand Dunes, the brewery draws pure underground water from the river. This ultra-soft water, with a hardness of about 2, is used not only for brewing but also for bottle washing without any modification. It allows for a gentle fermentation, resulting in exceptionally smooth sake. Suwa Shuzo is dedicated to crafting sake that complements everyday meals, bringing happiness to the dining table.
