Sawanoi

Sawanoi is the signature brand of Ozawa Shuzo, symbolizing over 300 years of tradition in Tokyo's Okutama region. The name originates from the area's historical name 'Sawai,' which signifies a place where high-quality water flows abundantly. The brand's hallmark is its unique use of two different water sources filtered through centuries-old stone strata, resulting in a sake with remarkable clarity, crispness, and a dignified character. Whether it's the famed Junmai Ginjo 'Soten'—celebrated for its elegant aroma and balanced umami—or their other refined offerings, Sawanoi has earned widespread acclaim at international competitions. It is a brand that evolved with the times while respecting its roots, standing as a proud ambassador of Tokyo's exquisite sake culture.
