Naniwa Shuzo

Naniwa Shuzo, located in Ozaki-cho, Hannan City, Osaka, is a prestigious brewery that has taken pride in being Osaka's oldest handmade local sake brewery since its founding during the Kyoho era (about 300 years ago). Its presence transmits the atmosphere of the former Izumi Province to the present day; the brewery and main house are designated as National Registered Tangible Cultural Properties, possessing extremely high architectural and historical value.
With a strong commitment to "traditional handmade brewing," they continue to listen to the breath of the rice and spare no labor, even in today's mechanized world. Centered around the flagship brand "Naniwa Masamune," they offer a diverse and capable lineup including the premium Junmai Daiginjo "Muga Mushin" and "Sakamatsu," which is limited to specific retailers.
Furthermore, they are active not only in inheriting tradition but also in innovative attempts; for example, "Retro PoRice Hannan," a unique sweet and sour sake made from ancient rice, has attracted attention as a challenge connecting the history and future of Hannan City. From crisp "dry" sake showcasing the skills of Nanbu school master brewers to "mellow" sake where the sweetness of rice spreads, it is a brewery where you can enjoy the essence of Osaka's sake brewing.
The drops nurtured within the tranquil brewery invite drinkers on a historical journey of Izumi, transcending 300 years of time.
