Kamaya

Kamaya, founded in 1748 in Kisai, Kazo City, Saitama Prefecture, is a prestigious brewery boasting over 270 years of history. This brewery, continuing since the Edo period, is blessed with rich water resources and fertile land in the former Kisai region, playing an important role in passing down the tradition of Saitama's sake brewing culture to the present.
The greatest commitment is the sincere attitude of continuing to pursue "sake that stays close to daily life and enriches life." Using clear groundwater from the Tone River system, it features a supple taste unique to soft water brewing that gently pulls out the sweetness of rice. Incorporating a wide range of techniques from traditional "Kimoto" brewing to modern latest technology, skilled craftsmen brew each drop with wholehearted devotion, realizing a quality of sake that provides peace every time you drink.
The flagship brand "Rikishi" (Sumo Wrestler), contrary to its powerful name, continues to fascinate many fans with an extremely smooth and gentle mouthfeel. Additionally, it develops a diverse lineup that balances respect for history and challenges for the future, such as "Kamaya Shinpachi" bearing the founder's name and advocating a return to origins, and "Kazo no Mai" cherishing bonds with the region. It is a long-established brewery full of passion, continuing to create "deliciousness" for the new era while carrying the regional tradition.
