Sogen Shuzo, founded in 1768, is a historic brewery in Suzu, Oku-Noto, boasting over 250 years of heritage as the 'birthplace of Noto Toji.' The founding Sogen family descends from the Noto Hatakeyama clan, former lords of the region, and their legacy has been the cornerstone of Noto's brewing culture.
Their hallmark is a powerful yet multi-layered flavor profile, sculpted by the masterful techniques of Noto Toji, one of Japan's top four brewing guilds. By utilizing low-temperature fermentation and unique soft-water brewing, they draw out the full umami of the rice, earning international acclaim. Their masterpiece, 'Dai-Ginjo Sogen,' has won numerous gold medals at the National New Sake Competition and is featured in ANA's international first-class service. Despite the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake, the brewery resumed production within weeks, driven by a commitment to regional recovery. This indomitable spirit makes Sogen a true icon of Noto's pride and resilience.
