Kiritsukuba is produced by Urazato Shuzoten, a brewery founded in 1877 in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, drawing on the natural bounty of the region and careful rice processing to craft sake suited to food pairing. The brand takes its name from the mist-shrouded Tsukuba Mountain and is consumed almost entirely within the local community, where it has been a regional staple for generations.
