Kiminoi Shuzo, established during the Tenpo era (1830-1844), is a brewery with a history of over 180 years in Myoko City (formerly Arai City), Niigata. Located at the foot of Mount Myoko, in a town that once flourished as a post station on the Hokkoku Kaido highway, the brewery uses abundant spring water from the Myoko mountain range for its brewing.
Their most distinctive feature is their commitment to the traditional and labor-intensive 'Yamahai-shikomi' method. By utilizing natural lactic acid bacteria living in the brewery to slowly nurture powerful yeast, they create a unique flavor characterized by deep richness harmonized with a crisp acidity.
While preserving tradition, their sincere approach to high-quality brewing that complements modern dining tables has earned deep trust from both locals and sake enthusiasts nationwide.
