車多酒造

The Story of 車多酒造

Shata Shuzo has brewed Tengumai in Hakusan, Ishikawa since 1823, known above all for its yamahai method — a slower, wild-fermentation style of building the sake's yeast starter. The brewery has kept that hand-crafted approach at its core while also experimenting, as with its sparkling Junmai Daiginjo Awakage. The goal across the range, the brewery says, is sake that never tires the palate at the table. A shop attached to the kura offers tastings.
