Izumi Shuzoten is a long-established brewery that has been carving out history for over 200 years in Ashikaga City, Tochigi. Located in the birthplace of Ashikaga Takauji, the founder of the Muromachi Shogunate, the brewery has inherited a sincere approach to sake brewing that values regional history and culture.
Using the pure groundwater of Ashikaga and high-quality sake rice primarily from Tochigi, they brew with skilled techniques. Despite its small scale, it maintains meticulous hand-crafted methods, resulting in an elegant and dignified quality that highlights the natural umami of the rice.
Cherishing its pride as a "local sake" that stays close to the food culture of Ashikaga—once a thriving textile town—this venerable brewery continues to pass down traditional flavors to the present day.
