Kaetsu Shuzo

Kaetsu brews powerful, complex sake under its Kanbara label. Its home prefecture, Niigata, is otherwise known for producing light, clean sake. But Kanbara’s bold style comes from brewing sake that is muroka (not charcoal filtered) and brewed for enhanced richness and nuttiness. The husband and wife co-owners come from families with sake backgrounds and Toji Kenichiro-san has made sake for over 50 years, giving Kanbara a long history of talent and experience.
