About Tsuchida Sake Brewery: Tsuchida Sake Brewery is situated in Kawaba, a small village in Gunma, a mountainous region northwest of Tokyo. Established in 1907, it has been a family operation for six generations. The brewery strives to create a parallel world of tradition and evolution, using ancient secret methods to brew sake, with the application of modern approaches.

Their sake is low intervention, spontaneous and unprocessed, incorporating local unpolished rice and micro-organisms such as Japan’s proud koji, natural lactic acid bacteria and ambient yeast residing in the sacred family brewery. Their sake is made in a way to enhance the flavours over the passage of time.
