About the brewery
Sennenichi Shuzo is a sake brewery in Kuruma, Awaji City, on Awaji Island, founded in February 1875. It aims to brew clean, tasty sake using mountain spring water from Mt. Shoki. The brewery rebuilt itself after severe damage in the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and works with Awaji-grown sake rice, including Gohyakumangoku grown by the Awaji Sake Detective Club for "Semmusui (千夢酔)". Its daiginjo "Chiyo no Enishi (千代の縁)" won gold at the National New Sake Appraisal in 2000, 2001, 2011, 2012 and 2015.
