Hatsukame Shuzo, founded in 1636 during the early Edo period, is the oldest and most prestigious brewery in Shizuoka Prefecture. For over 380 years, they have upheld the belief that 'Sake is not made, but nurtured until it is born,' pouring passion into every drop.
Its distinctive character lies in its deep expertise in 'Ginjo brewing,' which it pioneered nationwide. Using pristine groundwater from the Southern Alps and carefully selected rice, such as top-grade Yamada Nishiki from Tojo, Hyogo, they brew with highly refined techniques. Their commitment to quality—surprising the industry by launching Japan's first Junmai Daiginjo to exceed 10,000 yen for a 1.8L bottle—remains unshaken.
They deliver a flavor that harmonizes with Shizuoka's rich food culture, combining dignity with gentleness. While carrying the weight of history, it is a supreme brewery representing Shizuoka, constantly pursuing the perfect cup.
