Azumatsuru Shuzo

History and Story

Located in the mountainous region of Taku City, Saga Prefecture and founded in the late Edo period (around 1830), it has a long tradition rooted in craftsmanship and regional identity. After suspending operations in 1989, the brewery was revived in 2009 when the owner assumed the role of toji (master brewer), bringing renewed vision while honoring its heritage.

Sake is brewed using soft spring water from the Taku mountains, alongside carefully selected local rice. Azumatsuru employs both traditional methods and modern tools, maintaining a hands-on, small-batch approach to ensure quality. The brewery places strong emphasis on family continuity and preserving its legacy across generations.
