甲斐男山
Since 1862 — 北杜市, Yamanashi
A fifth-generation family kura in Yamanashi's Yatsugatake foothills, still pumping 96-meter spring water for a label unchanged since 1862.
Yamaki Shuzoten was founded in 1862 amid the rich farmland of Kitakoma, Yamanashi, and remains a family business more than 150 years on — today run by a fifth-generation head who serves as both president and toji (master brewer), working alongside his wife and eldest son. The kura draws soft water pumped from 96 meters underground in the Yatsugatake mountain system, a constant 13°C year-round, and relies mainly on the Yamanashi-grown rice variety Asahi no Yume, brewing for consistency of quality. Its flagship, Kai Otokoyama, has carried the house's name since its founding.
