About the brewery

Daitengu Shuzo is a sake brewery founded in 1872 (Meiji 5), located just a one-minute walk from JR Motomiya Station in Motomiya, Fukushima Prefecture. It is the only sake brewery in the city. The brewery uses subterranean water from Mount Adatara (安達太良山) and locally grown rice, including Yume no Kaori, an original sake rice of Fukushima Prefecture grown by farmers in the city. Its sake is brewed with a simplified yeast starter (shubo) and a three-step fermentation process (sandan jikomi), and pressed in a traditional vat-style press (fune shibori). Alongside its flagship brand Daitengu, the brewery produces Motomiya, Unoshu (卯酒), and Chieko no Hanagasumi (智恵子の花霞), among others, and much of its sake is enjoyed locally. The brewery was damaged by Typhoon Hagibis (Typhoon No. 19) in 2019 but has continued making sake.
