Inaba Shuzo Brewery

Founded in 1867, Inaba Shuzo uses spring water from Mount Tsukuba to brew sake. In addition to the rice and pure water that forms the basis of all good sake, Inaba Shuzo carries out each step of the brewing process by hand using skilled local staff. This results in a refined and elegant beverage unique to the slopes of Mount Tsukuba.

Urazato Brewery

Urazato Brewery was founded in 1877. By removing as much of the fat and protein from rice in the brewing process, Urazato produces ultra-high quality sake. Urazato aims to make sake that pairs well with meals while being a local institution. The sake is sold throughout Ibaraki, particularly in the brewery's hometown of Tsukuba City.
