Kondoushuzou

Kondo Shuzo, founded in 1865, is a brewery based in Gosen City, Niigata Prefecture. At the foot of the sacred Mt. Sugana, in this land blessed with pure water, it has honestly maintained traditional sake brewing for over 150 years.
A major feature is its use of natural 'Dokkonmizu' water welling up from the mountainside of Mt. Sugana for all its production. This clear and pure water gives Kondo Shuzo's sake a unique transparency and soft mouthfeel. Representative brands such as 'Koshi no Karoku' and 'Suganadake' are characterized by an elegant taste that while being light and dry, the umami of rice is firmly alive and never gets tired of drinking even every day. Rooted in the region and never forgetting gratitude for the blessings of nature, the quality brewed by sharpening all five senses closely accompanies the local food culture and is deeply trusted by many sake fans.
