Kanaya Shuzoten

Kanaya Shuzoten, established in 1869, is located in Yasuda-machi, Hakusan City, blessed with abundant underground water from the foot of Mount Hakusan. The brewery pursues a unique style of sake production that merges traditional methods with modern sensibilities.
Their hallmark is proposing new ways to enjoy food that transcend the traditional boundaries of sake. They operate an on-site French restaurant, 'Takasago Saryo,' in a renovated earthen storehouse, where they advocate for the marriage of gourmet cuisine and sake. Their flagship brand, 'Takasago,' is handcrafted using local rice such as 'Ishikawa-mon' from the fertile Kaga Plain. Unusually for Ishikawa sake, it is characterized by a light, crisp, dry, and fruity profile. Highly acclaimed as 'sake that can be enjoyed like wine,' it is popular among women and international enthusiasts. While respecting tradition, they continue to pursue 'gentle sake' and open new possibilities for the future of the industry.
