Okazaki Shuzo (岡崎酒造)

Founded in 1665 in Ueda, Nagano, Okazaki Shuzo combines traditional methods like box koji and small-batch brewing with local rice and Sugadaira River water. Female Toji Mitori Okazaki leads production, crafting crisp, dry sakes that reflect Shinshu’s pristine nature—a historic brewery blending heritage with modern artistry.
