Eikun Shuzo

Eikun Shuzo was founded in 1881 in Yui, Shizuoka Prefecture. Its name was chosen in honor of the last shogun, Yoshinobu Tokugawa, who was living in retirement in Sunpu at the time, admiring his virtue.
Their greatest commitment lies in their thorough 'rice washing.' Pursuing the processing of ingredients to the extreme, they completely wash away the bran, especially for high-end sake like Ginjo and Daiginjo, to draw out the pure umami of the rice. For brewing, they use high-quality water from the nearby Sakuranozawa spring, from which iron is removed using original methods. Furthermore, by brewing all products with 'Shizuoka Yeast,' they achieve a refreshing, fruity aroma and a gentle flavor that stays close to the dining table.
They deliver a delicate cup that resonates with the five senses, nurtured by the historical terroir of Yui. It is a highly capable brewery representing Shizuoka, where experienced artisans pour their passion.
