Ozaki Shuzo

Ozaki Shuzo is a brewery located in Funamachi, Shingu City, with a special location known as the southernmost brewery on Honshu.
Shingu City is an important base for the World Heritage Kumano Kodo and has prospered since ancient times as the gateway to the Kumano Sanzan (Kumano Hongu Taisha, Kumano Hayatama Taisha, Kumano Nachi Taisha). This area is located at the mouth of the Kumano River flowing into the Pacific Ocean, having a unique climate where mountains and sea meet.
The warm climate of the southernmost tip of Honshu is an environment different from "cold brewing," which is common sense in general sake brewing. Original ingenuity and technology are required to brew high-quality sake in this warm climate. Ozaki Shuzo continues sake brewing utilizing the climate of Kishu in this challenging environment.
The flagship brand "Kumano Sanzan" is a brand that expresses respect for the history and nature of this land, bearing the name of the World Heritage Kumano Sanzan. It is popular with pilgrims visiting Kumano Kodo and locals.
In addition, features brand development themed on the nature and sea of Kumano, such as "Kumano Gawa," "Taiheiyo," and "Isana," demonstrating its individuality as a brewery reflecting the climate and culture of Kumano in sake brewing.
