The Story of 中島屋酒造場

In Shunan, Yamaguchi, Nakashimaya Shuzojo has brewed since 1910, keeping alive the traditional kimoto method of building a sake's yeast starter -- a slower, hands-on craft passed down from the Edo period. Guided by the maxim "first koji, second yeast starter, third the main mash," the brewery treats every stage with care. Its focus is simple: brew sake worth remembering, made to be enjoyed for generations to come.
