Chochin Shuzo

Chochin Shuzo

A small sake brewery located in Aichi prefecture in central Japan, brewmaster Hide Kuwayama produces just 250 koku (about 7700 cases) annually of their flagship “Chochin” sake. Premium sake rice is sourced from around Japan, fermented in minimalist conditions without any automated equipment, then left untreated after pressing. The result is large, expressive sake of depth and power, beautiful at room temperature but also delicious when gently heated.
