Watanabe Shuzo Honten, founded in 1871, is a historic brewery in Nishida Town, Koriyama, at the foot of the Abukuma Mountains, which started as a sake shop handling sacred offerings for shrines.
With their flagship brand "Yukikomachi," evoking the purity of northern snow and the beauty of Ono no Komachi, they pursue the path of "Hojun-Karakuchi" (rich yet dry). They strive for a quality that retains the full rice umami while providing a surprisingly crisp, dry finish.
While adhering to traditional manual brewing, they also develop unique art collaboration brands, elevating the sensibilities of the castle town to modern times. They continue to brew strong-willed regional sake nurtured by Abukuma's rich nature.
