Kaneko Shuzo is a venerable brewery founded in 1806, boasting a history of over 200 years in Nakagawa-machi, Tochigi. Located in the Bato district, surrounded by the rich nature of the pristine Naka River, the brewery has inherited a sincere approach to sake brewing that has remained unchanged since the Edo period.
Using the pure groundwater of the Naka River and carefully selected sake rice, they brew with skilled techniques while cherishing their origins as a "local sake" that stays close to the community. Despite its small scale, it maintains meticulous hand-crafted methods, resulting in a warm and flavorful quality that brings out the maximum potential of the rice's umami.
Valuing the traditions cultivated throughout its long history, Kaneko Shuzo remains an indispensable presence loved by the region, protecting the local climate and traditional sake culture of Nakagawa-machi.
