Tanzan Shuzo Co., Ltd.

Tanzan Shuzo, founded in 1882, is a brewery in Kameoka, located upstream of Arashiyama, Kyoto.
Based on the firm belief that "Sake brewing is rice making, and rice making starts from the soil," their biggest feature is an absolute commitment to ingredients, such as growing their own Yamada Nishiki through natural farming without pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Currently inherited by a female 5th generation, while valuing traditional techniques, they pursue a new form of sake that leverages a delicate sensibility and modern sense unique to women.
Using clear well water springing within the brewery grounds as brewing water, their sake is characterized by a transparent quality where a refined aroma and rich umami full of rice's vitality are harmonized.
Also having a face as "Kyo no Kojiya" (Kyoto's Koji Shop) and focusing on product development to convey the charm of koji to the present, they continue to add new colors to Kyoto's food culture.
