Fuji Shuzo (Yamagata)

Located in the Yamagata region of Northern Japan, The Eiko Fuji Brewing Company was founded in 1778 and is now led by the 13th generation of the Kato family. The Katos named their sake after Mt. Fuji because they wanted their sake to be as glorious and widely enjoyed as the National Symbol. Today, Kodai Kato is the Toji, or head Brewmaster. Kodai Toji is the youngest Toji in Japan to win Gold Awards at the National Sake Competitions for his sake. Adept at using many different types of rice and methods, the brewery is brimming with youthful inspiration and passion.
