Morimoto Shuzo, established around 1887 in Kikugawa City, is a passionate, family-run brewery. In 1924, they moved to their current location in search of superior water, sourcing groundwater from Mt. Awagatake, a branch of the South Alps.
Since 2014, they have committed to being a 'Junmai-only' brewery, eliminating added alcohol to focus entirely on the pure umami of rice. Currently operated by the father-son duo of Kuramoto-Toji Shoichi Morimoto and his son Keisuke, they craft sakes with subtle aromas and profound depth designed to complement food. Despite its small scale, this brewery is a shining example of high-integrity, artisanal Shizuoka brewing.
