Kitanishi Shuzo, founded in 1894 in Ageo City, Saitama Prefecture, is an innovative brewery advocating "Science and Romance." While valuing traditional craftsman techniques, it fuses the latest brewing technology and scientific approaches, constantly pursuing top-quality sake. Using rich underground water from the Chichibu mountain range as brewing water, it continues to brew refined fine sake in Ageo.
The flagship brand "Bunraku" is recognized for its high quality both domestically and internationally, achieving the feat of winning the highest "Trophy" award in the Daiginjo category of the IWC (International Wine Challenge) twice, in 2019 and 2021. Particularly, drinks committed to process details like "Fukurotsuri Muroka Genshu" prove its world-class technical capabilities.
In recent years, it has successively proposed new values for sake, such as the region-limited brand "AGEO," committed to all Saitama ingredients from rice to yeast, and "SARA," which charms with modern acidity and transparency. At the brewery-attached Soba and cuisine restaurant "Bunraku Azumakura," you can enjoy the marriage of freshly made sake and food, loved as a "food and sake culture transmission base" open to the community.
