INABA SHUZO
Brewery: Inaba Sake Brewery
Founded: 1867
Inaba Shuzo's sake brewing philosophy is to make everything the best quality possible - even everyday, ordinary sake. In order to accomplish this, grounded by painstaking data-keeping, everything from the rice soaking to fermentation, koji rice making and pressing is accomplished with finesse by experience kurabito (brewery workers) without the use of machinery.
The two brand lines of sake Minanogawa and Inaba were named in honor of the Minanogawa River and 6th generation Toji (brew master/brewery head) Inaba Nobuko, and have been well-received both in Japan and overseas. They do not submit their sake to contests, as they brew sake only to inspire their customers.
