Shohei

Shohei is the representative brand of Nara Kasugayama Sake Brewery, a sake inheriting tradition since its founding in 1877. Brewed with famous water at the foot of the Kasuga Primeval Forest, it has developed as a brand representing Nara since rice merchant Zennosuke Yagi of Dojima, Osaka, inherited the business of "Yokotaya" which had continued since before the Edo period.
In the Meiji era, it boasted one of the top production volumes in Nara Prefecture along with Mantsuru and Yagi Masamune. They also develop sake made with a traditional method called Bodaimoto, and continue to protect the history of sake brewing in Nara. Manufacturing a wide range of products from sake to shochu and liqueurs, unique products such as the Hanafuda Series are also popular.
