About the brewery

Nakazen Shuzoten is a sake brewery in Kiso Fukushima, in the town of Kiso in Nagano Prefecture, an area that once flourished as a post town on the Nakasendo road. The brewery was founded in 1865 (Keio 1) and has passed down the craft of handmade sake from generation to generation. In 1925 (Taisho 14) it adopted the sake name "Nakanorisan," and today it brews and sells two brands, Nakanorisan and Zenkichi. In 2002 (Heisei 14), it won a gold prize at the Annual Japan Sake Awards for the first time. The brewery also holds events such as its spring brewery open house (kurabiraki).
