辰泉酒造

The Story of 辰泉酒造

Tatsuizumi Shuzo has brewed in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima, since 1877, under a commitment to "rice-focused brewing" using only Aizu-grown sake rice, made in small hand-crafted batches. In 1980 the third-generation owner set out to revive Kyo no Hana, a nearly extinct sake rice variety, achieving its first brew with it in 1985. That rice remains central to Tatsuizumi's sake today, which has won a combined seven gold medals at Japan's National New Sake Awards.
