Yoyogiku Jozo is a long-established brewery based in Kakizaki-ku, Joetsu City, Niigata, continuing since the Keio era at the end of the Edo period. Located at the foot of the sacred Mt. Yoneyama and surrounded by rich nature, it has honestly inherited traditional brewing for over 150 years.
The biggest feature of their brewing is the use of 'ultra-soft water' with extremely low hardness springing from the foot of Mt. Yoneyama. This pure water fuses with the careful skills of the brewers who love their hometown, creating sake with an outstandingly soft and smooth mouthfeel even among Niigata sakes.
They persist in prioritizing quality over efficiency, such as taking time to press slowly using the traditional 'Funashibori' method (using a wooden press). Centering on their representative brand 'Chibitagawa,' they continue to protect a gentle and deep flavor that lets one feel the rich terroir of Joetsu with all five senses.
