Kaetsu Shuzo
Kaetsu Shuzo was founded in 1880 in the region of Niigata known for its natural landscapes and mountainous streams.
The very cold winter season and the pure water of the region are perfectly suited to the requirements of rice cultivation and sake production.
Their Kirin brand refers to Mount Kirin located near the kura but also to the legendary Kirin animal, a symbol of serenity and prosperity.
The Kambara brand was launched in 2004 and refers to a neighboring village, a symbol of local culture and tradition.
