Yucho Shuzo

YUCHO Shuzo is located in Nara prefecture, the birthplace of Japanese Sake and has been brewing for over 300 years. Yoshihiko Yamamoto is the 13th generation of brewers and has a deep knowledge of brewing history and techniques, which he sources to pioneer new processes for the craft. The brand name KAZE NO MORI translates to "Forest of the Wind" and refers to the shrine in the woods near the brewery, where a the wind picks up as one approaches. Mr. Yamamoto likens the lively character of the wind to that of his Sake, which has a slight effervesce and fresh yet rich and complex profile.
