Niseko

Niseko Shuzo, established in 1956 in Kutchan-cho at the foot of Mount Yotei in Hokkaido, brews Niseko using 100% locally grown Hokkaido rice and soft snowmelt water from the surrounding mountains. The brewery's head brewer focuses on varieties including Suisei, Ginpu, and Kitashizuku, producing unpasteurized, undiluted sake that reflects the region's cool climate through a clean, understated character.
