The oldest brewery in the prefecture brewing with “Kumamoto yeast”

Tsujun Sake Brewery is located almost in the center of Kyushu and produces sake in a semi-high region at an altitude of approximately 500 meters, surrounded by the Aso Somma Mountains to the north and the Kyushu Mountains to the south. About 10 years ago, in the middle of the Edo period, Bizenya Nojiri Seikuro, who ran a shipping wholesaler in an area where summers are cool and winters can get as low as -250 degrees Celsius, opened a sake brewery to help a village suffering from heavy annual taxes. is.Tsujun Sake Brewery 02

The name ``Tsujun'' comes from Tsujun Bridge, a stone aqueduct not far from the storehouse that has been designated as a national treasure, and was apparently changed to its current name in the Showa era. Most of the sake produced at this brewery is brewed using ``Kumamoto Yeast,'' which has been commercialized by the Kumamoto Prefecture Sake Brewing Research Institute, using locally contracted sake rice.

In the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake, 10 warehouses were damaged and sake was spilled, but the store has since renovated the approximately 200-year-old warehouse that was partially destroyed. Kansei-gura, a tourist sake brewery that opened there where you can enjoy tastings for a fee, is also attracting attention.
