Toa Shuzo

Toa Shuzo, founded in 1625 in Chichibu and currently based in Hanyu City, Saitama Prefecture, is a long-established brewery boasting 400 years of history. It combines traditional techniques cultivated in its long history with flexible creativity responding to the needs of the era, and its name is known worldwide not only for sake but also for whisky making (Hanyu Distillery).
The greatest commitment is the pursuit of "local sake" making use of ingredients from local Saitama Prefecture. Using clear groundwater from the Tone River system and strictly selected sake brewing rice, it carefully brews sake using "Sai-no-Kuni Yeast" from Saitama Prefecture. Through long-term low-temperature fermentation, it pulls out a gorgeous and transparent elegant aroma while having rich rice umami.
The flagship brand "Haregiku" is localized as a flavor full of dignity suitable for bright occasions as its name suggests. Additionally, it develops a diverse lineup that stays close to the drinker's heart, such as "Kami no Izumi" (God's Spring) making one feel sacred power. Without resting on tradition, it is a prestigious brewery full of passion and innovation, constantly searching for new forms of "deliciousness."
