About
Matsumoto Shuzo brews sake that embodies the aesthetic sensibility of Kyoto. The brewery cherishes the four seasons of Japan and aims to brew beautiful sake. Believing that the essence of sake lies in rice, it reconsiders everything from agriculture, centered on Tojo (東条), the birthplace of Yamada Nishiki. Hoping that sake will be loved even more around the world, the brewery works to revitalize the farming fields while brewing sake. Even after opening, the sake can be enjoyed fresh for longer than usual. It was awarded silver in the Junmai category at the SAKE COMPETITION 2019.
