Established in 1847 in Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture, known for heavy snowfall in the Tohoku region. Ryozeki Shuzo boasts four buildings, including the main house, designated as Akita Prefecture's first registered tangible cultural property. Guided by the motto 'Quality Sake Crafting,' they benefit from abundant nature and a climate ideal for brewing. Their unique method involves slow, cool fermentation over an extended period, ensuring meticulous craftsmanship. While previously focused on producing ordinary sake, they now devote time and effort to each stage, shifting towards crafting primarily designated-name sake.
