About
Takizawa Shuzo was founded in 1863 (Bunkyu 3) in Ogawa-cho, Saitama Prefecture. In 1900 (Meiji 33) the brewery moved to its present location in Tadokoro-cho, Fukaya City, along the Nakasendo road in the post town of Fukaya-juku. Using subterranean water from the Arakawa River system and sake rice centered on Sake Musashi, the brewery makes an elegant local sake in the Tanrei style (light and clean). It relies on traditional handcrafted methods: the rice is steamed in a traditional kettle (wagama) with a koshiki steaming vessel, and koji is made by the hand-crafted hako koji (box) method. Its flagship brand is Kikuizumi. The brewery also makes Kikuizumi Hitosuji, a sparkling sake that undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, using a method adapted from Champagne production. Its achievements include gold medals at the Annual Japan Sake Awards and a trophy at the International Wine Challenge.
Founded in 1863 (Bunkyu 3).
