Sogen Shuzo

Sogen Brewery is located at the northern tip of the Noto Peninsula, north of Ishikawa Prefecture on the west coast of Japan. Founded in 1768, it is the oldest brewery in the region. Sogen Shuzo is believed to be the birthplace of the Noto Toji Guild, one of the four major production streams in the country, reputed to be the source of sake with a powerful style and exuberant flavours.

The production is ensured by Yukio Sakaguchi, a leading figure in the world of toji, recognized throughout the country as a true "sake master". His personality, his expertise and the many awards he has accumulated over the years make him a source of pride for the region. He continues to bring the Noto Ryu to life with the most beautiful energy, towards the young Tojis, but also by bringing his own variations of style to it on a daily basis.
