Description
Launched in 2017 as a contemporary junmai aimed at younger drinkers, Shushu is brewed with more than double the standard koji ratio, concentrating rice-derived umami in a lighter, low-alcohol (approximately 10.5%) format. The style reflects Sawanotsuru's Nada heritage adapted for modern, approachable drinking occasions.

Hyogo
Since the Edo period, the cheers of the crane in Nada and Sawa have been particular about the traditional techniques and quality of Tambu, who are called "Tamba Mori." Sawa's crane inherits the tradition of Tamba -ryu, pursues innovative technology on top of it, and aims for the best quality in Japan as "Nada Main Style Sake".
