Saito Shuzo

Saito Shuzo started as a kimono dealer in the Genroku era and turned to sake brewing in Fushimi in 1895, a brewery that values Kyoto's aesthetic sense.
They pour extraordinary passion into the revival and use of Kyoto-produced sake rice, especially the "Iwai" (Celebration) rice once called a phantom rice, pursuing "true Kyoto sake" made with Kyoto rice, Kyoto water, and Kyoto techniques.
They hold a phenomenal record of "14 consecutive years of Gold Awards" at the Annual Japan Sake Awards, the all-time record, and their high technical level is highly evaluated both domestically and internationally.
With the motto "Tanrei Yuga" (Light and Elegant), it is one of Fushimi's representative prestigious breweries that continues to brew fine, sophisticated, and dignified sake.
