About the brewery

Yoikana Shuzo is a sake brewery founded in 1860, at the end of the Edo period, and located in the Ote district of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. Its flagship brand is Yoikana, a name derived from a Buddhist term. At the brewery's entrance is a spring known as Metoba no Izumi, where local residents are free to draw water. In May 2026, the brewery held its first brewery tour, in which kurabito (brewery workers) guided visitors through the stages of the brewing process.
