Brands

"Iwaki Masamune" is a long-standing brand named after the Iwaki River, which originates from Mt. Iwaki (Tsugaru Fuji) and once flowed behind the original brewery site in Itayanagi. It is available for distribution through wholesalers.

"Akegarasu" is a brand of Osanai Shuzoten. The brewery is now closed.

"Denshu" literally means "Sake of the Rice Fields," indicating it is a Junmai sake made only from rice harvested in paddies, without any added alcohol or sugar. It was launched after three years of development during an era when fortified sake was the norm. The brewery discovered the seeds of the legendary "Kojo-nishiki" rice and successfully revived it through contract farming. This variety had been discontinued in 1980 due to the rise of Yamada-nishiki. The "Denshu Junmai Gingo Kojo-nishiki" is polished to 50%, offering a harmonious blend of soft ginjo aroma and rice umami with a balanced, light profile. Known for its refreshing sweetness and crisp acidity, it is highly popular as a staple summer sake.

"Kikuizumi" is one of the brands of Nishida Shuzoten, encompassing products like Daiginjo and Utou.

"Sotogahama" is a limited-distribution brand from Nishida Shuzoten, named after the historical name of the Aburakawa district in Aomori City, where the brewery is located. Brewed with Aomori's "Hana-fubuki" sake rice and soft water from the Mt. Hakkoda spring system, it features a deep rice umami and a sharp, dry finish, though a subtle sweetness can also be detected. The "Sotogahama Junmai Gingo Haikara/Monochro" labels were developed entirely from scratch by the brewery's young staff in their 20s and 30s, led by the future 6th-generation head, Rikuro Nishida. This project was completed without direct supervision from the master brewer, relying instead on their own experience and creativity. "Haikara" (the 30s project) focuses on a 13% low-alcohol concept, while "Monochro" (the 20s project) aims for a brilliant quality, polished to 50%, suitable for competition standards. Sotogahama represents the traditional Nishida Shuzoten's dedication to nurturing young talent and embracing new challenges through limited-release innovative sake.
