About the brewery : The Setou Shuzo brewery was founded under the name Maruhei Masamune in 1789 by Tajibei Setou. He set up his factory in Shiotacho, in Saga Prefecture. It was from 1920 onwards that one of their sakes became ultra-famous in the region, Azumacho sake, which was named by the Japanese Prime Minister of the time, Mr Takashi Hara! In 1929, Azumacho became the official sake supplier to the Imperial Household of Emperor Showa. Setou Shuzo's sakes are ultra-pure and above all very rich, with a Kasubuaï, the percentage of Kasu remaining after filtration, that is really high. A point that the brewery never fails to emphasise.
