Shirasugi Shuzo Co., Ltd.

Shirasugi Shuzo, located in Omiya Town, Kyotango City, Kyoto, is an extremely creative brewery that brews sake using "only eating rice (table rice)," which is rare even in the world.
They carry through a unique belief of brewing sake only with rice that becomes "delicious cooked rice" we eat every day, without using "sake rice" dedicated to brewing at all.
Centering on local Tango-grown Koshihikari, they use various eating rice such as Sasanishiki and Milky Queen. By using "ultra-soft" groundwater gushing from the hill behind the brewery, they draw out the rich umami and gentle sweetness characteristic of eating rice to the maximum.
Currently, the 11th generation Satoru Shirasugi takes the baton as the owner-Toji, continuing to propose new values of sake brewing such as the revitalization of agriculture and finding regional identity in rice.
"Delicious rice makes delicious sake." Shirasugi Shuzo's sake, pursuing this simple yet deep truth, is a taste full of surprise and joy that vividly rewrites conventional common sense.
