TANAKA SHUZO - MIYAGI PREFECTURE
Tanaka Shuzoten is located on the fertile plain of Kami-cho, in Miyagi prefecture. This plain is supplied with water by the melting snow from nearby Mount Oou. The brewery was founded in 1789 by Rimbei Tanaka, then a first-generation representative of the Date clan's leading kimono merchant. The choice of the region was not insignificant, as it is not only one of the most important rice-growing areas in Japan, but also a historic place with a strong reputation for sake production. Many breweries have won awards in the national new sake competition, and Tanaka Shuzoten is of course one of them.
