Urazato Shuzoten, founded in 1877 (Meiji 10), is a long-established brewery located in Yoshinuma, Tsukuba City. Located at the foot of Mt. Tsukuba in a rich natural environment, they continue to brew sake rooted in the region. There is an earthen-walled storehouse building on the premises that retains the appearance of the time of its founding, making you feel the weight of history.
Using underground water from Mt. Tsukuba and carefully selected sake rice from Ibaraki Prefecture, it features a light, dry, and sharp sake quality. Considering compatibility with meals first, they pursue the optimal taste as a sake to accompany food. A very high percentage is consumed within Ibaraki Prefecture, and it is loved by locals as a "true local sake."
The 6th generation brewery head, Chikara Urazato, continues to challenge new sake brewing while protecting tradition. Actively incorporating technologies originating in Ibaraki such as Ogawa yeast, they value their identity as Ibaraki's local sake and are brewing for the next generation.
