Brewery info Founded in 1777 in Kyotango, Kyoto, Shirasugi Shuzo made a radical, historic choice: they completely banned standard sake rice from their facilities. Today, they brew exclusively with premium local culinary eating rice and tropical koji strains, standing out as bold rebels of the modern sake world.
