Seko Shuzo Co.,Ltd (Shiga)
|
Located south of the Biwa Lake, the soil of Kōga used to be part of the bottom of the same lake in ancient times. The result today is a very fertile soil and a high quality clay called "Zurinko" by the locals where high quality rice has been produced since long ago giving the region the surname of "The Rice Granary of the Kansai". Additionally, Kōga is blessed with infiltrated water coming from the Suzuka mountain range giving the perfect conditions to obtain a refined and high quality Sake. Please enjoy the traditional taste of our Sake achieved with inherited ancestral techniques. By Brewmaster Toshiyuki Ueno
Sekiya Brewery Co., Ltd. (Aichi)

Sekiya Brewery has been producing high quality sake since its founding in 1864. Yumesansui, their brand of high-quality brewer’s rice, is cultivated in a fields rent from local farmers securing future rice stocks, while preserving the original local landscape. All their rice is milled in-house with an average polish of 50% (high polished rice). In recent years, SEKIYA BREWING has been working on programs to spread the culture of sake to more and more people. For example, visitors are given a hands-on experience of the brewing process through tours of our brewery. They also brew made-to-order sake for those seeking truly unique quality and flavor..
