About the brewery

Choryo Shuzo is a sake brewery based at its Koryo brewery in Koryo-cho, Kitakatsuragi-gun, Nara Prefecture, and was established in 1963. Together with its Yao brewery in Osaka Prefecture, it produces sake at two sites. In 1964 it released Yoshino Sugi no Taru Sake (吉野杉の樽酒), a bottled cask sake using Yoshino cedar casks. Its guiding principle is "Shodo Mukyukyoku" (昇道無窮極), and it works on sake making starting from rice cultivation. In March 2022 it opened CHORYO BREW PARK next to the Koryo brewery, where visitors can enjoy sake and craft beer.
