Nakano Shuzo (Chunou Shuzo), founded in 1849, is a historic brewery nestled in the rich nature of Machino-machi, Wajima City. Their signature brand, 'Wakanyodori,' was named after the pure springs of Mt. Wakasuyama rising behind the brewery and the magnificent cedar trees (greenery) on their grounds, symbolizing freshness and vitality.
The brewery's hallmark is an exceptionally soft and light mouthfeel, a rarity in the Oku-Noto region. This gentle, mild profile achieved through soft-water brewing harmonizes beautifully not only with delicate Japanese cuisine like sashimi but also with Western dishes such as French cuisine. While brewing is currently outsourced, the 170-year-old brewery buildings and tools are meticulously preserved as local cultural assets. They remain dedicated to protecting their warm, community-rooted sake, which is said to 'provide vitality for tomorrow' to all who drink it.
