Description
Kazuma Shuzo's signature Junmai sake, Takeba Noto Junmai, is a true tribute to the Noto terroir. Made exclusively with local ingredients, including Noto's Yamadanishiki rice grown by dedicated partners, it reflects traditional craftsmanship and exceptional artisanal precision. Through meticulous koji production and fermentation that dissolves only the most flavorful outer layer of rice, this sake offers a perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, bitterness, and umami. Its light and refreshing character appeals to sake lovers, novices, and foreigners alike. Alcohol content: 15°

Kazuma Shuzo
The producer

Kazuma Shuzo

Founded in 1869 in the Noto region of Ishikawa, the Kazuma Shuzo brewery benefits from an exceptional terroir, renowned for the quality of its water, perfect for sake brewing. For over 50 years, the company has proudly protected and promoted its brand name, Takeba (竹葉). What makes Kazuma Shuzo unique is its exclusive use of sake rice grown by local partner farmers. In 2014, the brewery launched an ambitious project: to restore abandoned farmland into rice paddies. Today, 26 hectares have been successfully transformed. That same year, the company modernized its facilities to ensure top-quality sake. Despite the January 2024 earthquake, which caused a three-month water outage, Kazuma Shuzo demonstrated resilience by restarting production as early as April. Today, five young family members, all in their thirties, run the brewery with passion and innovation.
