Nakazawa Shuzo

About Nakazawa Shuzo

Nestled in the foothills of the Tanzawa Mountains near historic Odawara, Nakazawa Shuzo has been crafting exceptional sake since 1825. Today, the 10th and 11th generation brewers continue this legacy using meticulously traditional methods. The brewers maintain the art of hako koji cultivation, gentle funashibori pressing, and careful hand-pasteurization in tobin bottles – time-honored techniques that preserve the delicate character of the sake. Each batch reflects the family’s centuries-old commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
