Fujii Shuzo

Founded in 1863 in the charming town of Takehara (Hiroshima Prefecture), nicknamed “Little Kyoto” for its picturesque landscapes, Fujii Shuzo has been perpetuating the art of sake for over 150 years. Awarded in 1907 by first prize in the first ever national sake competition organized in Japan, the house today combines ancestral techniques passed down by its predecessors with modern methods mastered by its production master, Mr. Masao Fujii. This requirement is reflected in each of its sakes, combining tradition, precision and elegance. Visitors passing through Takehara can also push open the door of the house, without reservation, to discover its creations and appreciate all the subtleties during a tasting.
