Kizakura Brewery 

Kizakura is one of the largest Japanese sake breweries in Japan. Such a leading company creates Japanese sake with three core pillars. 

1. WATER - Fushimizu” water is used for all of our sake. This water is obtained from our water-well in Fushimi, Kyoto. This water is semi-hard water and containes appropreate amount of mineral. Sake brewed with this water tend to be more soft, smooth and silky. This is the reason why Fushimi sake is called “Female sake”. 
2. RICE - All rice which we use are made in Japan. We also purchase rice from some contracted farmers who are renowned as their method extremely close to organic. Rice conditions change every day, every moment. To make quality sake, we polish rice by ourselves, and control each brewing process. 
3. CRAFTMEN - Master brewer who controls all sake making process is called “Toji (杜氏) ”. Generally one brewery has one Toji, and we have two Toji for two breweries in Kyoto. They have a lot of experiences of Sake brewing and were selected by Kyoto city as key persons to pass down precious historical techniques to next generations.
