Founded in 1875, Ikekame Shuzo, located in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is known for its signature brand "Ikekame." The brewery is situated near the Chikugo River and uses some of the best spring water from the local area, which is ideal for sake brewing. They use locally grown Yamadanishiki and Yumeikkon rice for their sake and carefully brew it using the cold winter temperatures, a traditional method known as "kanjikomi." The brewery also has a dedicated lab for cultivating yeast and developing new products, showing their commitment to research and innovation. Ikekame Shuzo aims to provide fresh surprises and excitement while maintaining tradition and incorporating new techniques into their sake-making process.
