Asahi Shuzo Sake Brewing (朝日酒造)

Founded in 1892 in Uonuma, Niigata, Asahi Shuzo is celebrated for brands like "Kubota" and "Asahiyama." They leverage pure snowmelt water and premium sake rice from Special A districts to create their signature style: crisp, dry, and remarkably smooth. They are a defining brewery of Niigata's refreshingly dry sake profile.
