Kasen

Kasen (Joyful Spring) is the flagship brand of Tamura Shuzojo, representing its long and storied history. The name was chosen in the late Edo period to celebrate the discovery of a crisp, clear spring on the brewery grounds that proved perfect for sake brewing. By using medium-hard subterranean water from the Chichibu and Okutama mountains, Kasen achieves a refined balance—rich in rice umami yet finishes with a sharp, dignified clarity. From the legendary 'Maboroshi-no-Sake Kasen' to their meticulously crafted Junmai Daiginjo, this brand consistently delivers the high quality that has enchanted sake lovers for over two centuries.
