Hayashi Shuzojo, established in 1910 (Meiji 43), is a small-scale, privately-run brewery quietly nestled at the foot of Mount Hachikoku in Kashiwazaki City, Niigata. Unrelated to large-scale efficiency, it continues to quietly protect sincere sake brewing that values the texture of handcrafting.
Believing in 'Kanzukuri' (brewing in the cold of winter) using the severe winter cold, they carefully bring out the umami of rice using pure water from Mount Hachikoku, a rich local water source. The charm of this brewery's sake lies in the detailed work where the brewer's eyes reach every single process, made possible only through small-batch production.
Without flashy advertising, their sake blends into the daily life of local Kashiwazaki, brewed with unchanged passion for generations. It can be described as a hidden famous sake of Echigo that is truly for those in the know.
