Inomata Shuzo, founded in 1890 (Meiji 23) in the Hayakawa Valley of Itoigawa, Niigata, is a quality-focused Junmai-specialized brewery. Situated in a rich natural environment surrounded by 2000-meter peaks and hydrated by pure snowmelt, the brewery maintains an uncompromising commitment to its ingredients. It produces the entirety of its own sake rice—Gohyakumangoku, Koshi Tanrei, and Takane Nishiki—ensuring integrated quality control from cultivation to brewing. Specializing in Ginjo-style brewing with polishing ratios of 60% or higher, its sake balances the robust umami of rice with a transparency reminiscent of snowmelt water. From the traditional 'Tsukimizunoike' to the alternative 'Sabiniko Rock' dedicated to cat and music lovers, Inomata Shuzo continues to propose new ways to enjoy sake, blending solid technique with a playful spirit.
