Nakao Shuzo

Nakao Shuzo is a brewery located in Shukunosho, Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture, carrying on the 400-year-old history of sake brewing in Ibaraki to the present day.
Respecting the traditions of the Mishima region, which was once one of Japan's leading sake rice producing areas, they continue the challenge of reviving "Mishima Omachi," a legendary rice variety that disappeared in the early Showa era, together with local farmers.
Under the conviction of "making the best sake with local rice and water," they brew sake by pouring passion into careful handicraft using the revived large-grain Mishima Omachi and Gohyakumangoku grown around Mount Ryuo.
Their commitment to working hand-in-hand with local farmers creates a unique flavor that feels as if the terroir of Ibaraki has been captured directly in the bottle.
