Since 1910 — 鴨川市, Chiba
A Kamogawa brewery founded in 1910 in pursuit of pure spring water, still brewing under its motto of 'excellent sake, joyfully made.'
Founded in 1910 in Kamogawa, on the Boso Peninsula in Chiba, Shuraku Shuzo traces its roots to Atsumi Kinjiro, who settled in the area — following the Yokosuka domain's Nishio clan — in search of clean spring water. The brewery still follows its founding motto, roughly 'excellent sake, joyfully made,' and draws on that same spring water today. Its style favors a light, dry junmai ginjo, alongside a notably dry honjozo called Kyoku Kara.
Junmai Ginjo — Sakekomachi rice, polished to 55%, SMV +1, acidity 1.6
