Kisho

Kisho is the representative brand of Nozaki Shuzo, named by combining the founder's initial 'Ki' (Joie) with 'Sho' (Correct), signifying an 'honest alcohol suitable for any occasion.' It is distinguished by its meticulous, handcrafted quality and the use of Mt. Shiroyama's pure spring water. In an era of mass production, Kisho stands out for its reliance on the traditional 'Koshiki' steam vat and manual labor. As a rare local brew seldom seen outside the Akigawa River area, it is deeply cherished by the local community as a pinnacle of authentic craftsmanship.
