Founded in 1913 in Daisen, Akita, Kariho Shuzo is a guardian of traditional brewing techniques, its name celebrating the joy of the rice harvest.
The brewery's greatest pride lies in its unwavering commitment to "100% Yamahai-shikomi" and its insistence on "100% Sakafune-shibori"—a manual pressing method using a traditional wooden press instead of large machines. This labor-intensive process infuses each drop with the vitality of the brewery's natural flora and the brewer's soul.
Nurtured by underground water from the Ou Mountains, the resulting sake is defined by a powerful, razor-sharp dry finish. Its robust umami, symbolic of Akita's harsh winters, possesses a timeless dignity that continues to captivate gourmets worldwide.
