Shiraito Shuzo is a long-established brewery in Itoshima with 170 years of history, founded in the 2nd year of Ansei.
The biggest feature of the brewery is that it still uses the traditional pressing method called "Hanegi Shibori," which is historically rare. Hanegi Shibori is a traditional method using the principle of leverage, where huge stones weighing more than 40kg to 100kg are suspended one by one, gradually applying pressure, and finally pressing the moromi slowly with a weight exceeding 1 ton.
Using 100% Yamada Nishiki rice from Itoshima, they realize a unique flavor through the combination of historic traditional methods and the finest ingredients. While protecting tradition, they practice high-quality sake brewing that appeals to modern times.
