Suwa Shuzo

Tottori Prefecture is the least populous prefecture of Japan, and within that lies the small town of Chizu where Suwa Izumi Sake Brewery is located. The town is nestled amongst mountains and sprawling cedar forests, and Suwa Izumi reaps the benefits of such a rural locale. Their super soft water is sourced from a well right on the brewery's property, and they take full advantage of its abundance- the water is used for everything: brewing, washing tools, even blending. The well is surrounded by lush nature and pine trees, meaning no filtering nor chemical doctoring necessary.
Suwa Izumi Sake Brewrey takes their name from a local Shinto shrine, Suwa Jinja. The shrine itself has been in existence since 1278, and is a famous local attraction.
