Ono Shuzo

Ono Shuzo is one of the oldest breweries in the prefecture, founded in 1697 (Genroku 10), located in Kitahiroshima Town near the border with Shimane Prefecture. currently, the 15th generation serves as the Toji (master brewer) himself, and brews sake that accompanies meals with the concept of "drinkable rice" in an environment rich in nature.
A clear stream flows behind the brewery, and it is blessed with a beautiful natural environment where giant salamanders, a special natural monument, inhabit and fireflies dance in summer. For brewing water, high-quality well water nurtured by this rich nature is used.
Without being swayed by trends, they continue to protect traditional sake brewing that draws out the umami of rice by fermenting it firmly, and aged sake is particularly highly evaluated, and its quality is recognized overseas, such as winning the Gold Trophy at the world contest IWC.
