About the brewery

Oyatakashi Shuzo is a sake brewery founded in 1830 (Bunsei 13) in Tashiro, Aikawa Town, Aiko District, Kanagawa Prefecture. The brewery uses subterranean water from the Tanzawa Mountains as its brewing water. Since 2008 it has made only junmai sake with no added brewing alcohol, making it a brewery that produces exclusively junmai. It brews two brands: Zarusohorai, made with the sokujo method (quick yeast starter), and Shoryuhorai, made with the kimoto method (traditional yeast starter). It also makes small-batch seasonal products, including Shiroku Shiki (四六式), brewed with white koji, and the low-alcohol Queeen. The eighth-generation brewery owner, Shunsuke Oya (大矢俊介), serves as representative, and the brewery accepts visitors for tours.
