Niki Shuzo is a long-established brewery founded in 1695 (Genroku 8), located in the old town district of Takayama City. It is the only Ginjo brewery in Hida specializing only in Ginjo sake brewing. Toji (master brewers) from Noto and Niigata and Kurabito (brewery workers) from Hida cooperate to practice sake brewing strictly adhering to traditional Ginjo brewing methods. The representative brand "Himuro" is a popular Daiginjo Namazake (unpasteurized sake) that pioneered the Namazake boom since the modern era when refrigeration technology became widespread. "Tamanoi" is a traditional brand loved for many years, named after the clear well water in the center of the brewery.
