Nishibori Shuzo is a historic sake brewery in Oyama City, Tochigi, founded in 1872. For over 150 years, it has continued its craft using the pristine underflow of the Nikko Mountains, the high-quality water of the Watarase River system, and rice from the fertile plains of Oyama.
The brewery grounds are home to numerous historic buildings dating from the late Edo to the Taisho periods, many of which are designated as National Registered Tangible Cultural Properties. Within this traditional space, the brewery's most defining feature is its highly original and innovative spirit—valuing traditional techniques while simultaneously exploring ancient rice brewing and cutting-edge technology.
With a diverse lineup including flagship brands like "Mongai Fushutsu," "Wakasakari," and the namesake "Nishibori," it stands as one of Tochigi's most creative breweries where tradition and innovation coexist.
