Fumigiku Shuzo

Founded in 1916, the current fourth generation owner and toji (master brewer) brews sake using pure fukuryusui water from the 3000 meter+ Tateyama mountain range and local sake rice from Toyama prefecture. The mountain water arrives through the Joganji River system, a famous spring in Toyama that has been selected as one of Japan's 100 famous waters.
The current owner-toji worked for a major fermentation manufacturer in Tokyo before returning to Toyama to take over the family's sake brewery and enter the world of sake brewing. From there, he changed everything about how they were producing sake with an eye to competition daiginjo as the inspiration for quality.

Its Haneya brand is named after the original shop owned by the family (Hane- ya) and is light and soft in texture. The wish is express the desire to lift the drinker's spirits up, "as if giving you wings to fly". From 2012 they have converted to all-season brewing and are able to provide fresh namazake throughout the year as well as a positive work-life balance for their employees.
