Since 1804, knowledge has been passed down from one generation to the next at Abe Shuzo. Today, Yuta Abe is the sixth-generation head of this traditional brewery and is shaking up the craft. Under the motto “Enjoy Fermentation,” he creates uncomplicated sakes that are particularly smooth, light, and easy to drink thanks to soft spring water. Because Yuta loves his hometown, he uses only local rice and even makes his own cola from the production leftovers. A perfect blend of 200 years of tradition and a sparkling spirit!
