Ozawa Shuzojo

Ozawa Shuzojo is a brewery located in Yagi-cho, Hachioji City, an area historically known as 'Soto' (the Capital of Mulberry). Since its founding, the brewery has remained dedicated to producing high-quality sake that honors the traditions of its hometown. Hachioji famously flourished as a center for sericulture and textiles, with vast mulberry fields providing food for silkworms.
The brewery's main brand, 'Kuwanomiyako' (Mulberry Capital), draws its name from a poem attributed to Hojo Ujiteru, the feudal lord who built Hachioji Castle. Beyond brewing, Ozawa Shuzojo is deeply integrated into the local community, participating in major events like Mt. Takao's Setsubun Festival and the Hachioji Festival. Through their craft, they continue to preserve and celebrate Hachioji's unique cultural identity and historical legacy.
