ABOUT THE BREWERY
Yucho Shuzo
Yucho Shuzo, a 300-year-old brewery in Nara—Japan’s sake birthplace—is nestled in the scenic Gose village, surrounded by mountains, rivers, and waterfalls that shape the clean, vibrant character of their sake. They played a key role in reviving the ancient Bodaimoto brewing method, once used at nearby Shoryaku-Ji Temple over 500 years ago. Led by 13th-generation president Chobei Yamamoto, a microbiologist, Yucho developed a proprietary yeast strain and brews exclusively with their own rice and mineral-rich water. Best known for the cult-favorite Kaze no Mori, their sake is bottled right after pressing, preserving its signature effervescence and freshness.
