Kawajiri Shuzojo, founded in 1839 (Tenpo 10), is a brewery specializing in aged sake located in the old town (Kami-ninomachi) of Takayama City. Preserving traditional methods since the Edo period, it performs sake brewing manually without mechanization, using a wooden Fune press, which is rare even among breweries in Takayama. It uses only locally grown "Hidahomare" sake rice, and stores and ages the brewed sake in the brewery for several years before shipping. A unique feature is that it does not ship new sake, but sells everything as aged sake.
