FUKUOKA
Two Bases, Two Ideas
Shinozaki Shuzo started out producing sake about 200 years ago, but now they handle a wide range of products across genres, including brewed alcohol, distilled alcohol, and non-alcoholic amazake. They have continued to have their production facility in Fukuoka since their founding, and currently have two bases: Asakura Production, which mainly produces sake and shochu, and SHINDO LAB, which opened in 2021 and produces whiskey and wine. Asakura Production aims to create timeless classics, while SHINDO LAB creates challenging alcoholic beverages that shape the times.
They pursue products that only they can deliver, while demonstrating the individuality of each of their bases.
