Hayashi Shuzojo, located in Asahi Town at the eastern edge of Toyama, is the oldest brewery in the prefecture, boasting a history of over 400 years since its founding in the Kan'ei era (1624-).
They use pristine underground water from the Sakaigawa River, fed by Northern Alps snowmelt. Hideki Hayashi, the youngest Toji in the prefecture, leads the brewing process by blending 400 years of tradition with modern innovation.
The flagship brand 'Kurobekyo' is a testament to their exceptional skill, having won numerous Gold Awards at the National New Sake Awards and the Kanazawa Regional Taxation Bureau Sake Awards. Characterized by a fragrant aroma and a crisp, light (tanrei) finish, it captures the essence of Kurobe's grand nature. Deeply rooted in the local Sakai district, they continue to preserve their heritage while exploring new possibilities for the next generation of sake.
