Kanbai Shuzo

Kanbai Shuzo, founded in 1821 in Kuki City, Saitama Prefecture, is a long-established brewery that combines a dignified presence with a challenging spirit. Its name comes from the belief of wanting to brew noble and elegant sake like plums that bloom earliest in the severe winter cold and emit a pure fragrance.
The greatest commitment is brewing with an upright and transparent feel, making use of rich and clear groundwater from the Tone River system. Based on the softness provided by Saitama's soft water, it thoroughly performs careful manual raw material processing and precise fermentation management to maximize the original pure sweetness of rice. As a result, it achieves a supreme crispness that is clear like meltwater and passes through the throat comfortably.
In addition to the flagship brand "Kanbai," it sequentially develops innovative projects such as "I love choco" pursuing pairing with chocolate. While based on solid technology rooted in tradition, it continues to propose new ways to enjoy sake that stay close to modern diverse lifestyles. Looking toward the regional future, it is a prestigious brewery boasting over 200 years of history, brewing with joy and surprise in every drop.
