AZUMACHO | Seto Shuzo (Sake) Brewery was founded in 1789 by Tajibei Seto. In 1920, he begun to sell sake “Azumacho” named by Takashi Hara, Japan’s prime minister and president of Seiyukai (political friendship society) in those days. It is said that the name “Azumacho” (written with the characters for “East” and “leader”) comes from Hara’s evaluation that the sake was “suitable for the monarchs of the East.”
Shitotacho, (Ureshino city, Saga), hometown of Azumacho located in the upper reaches of Shiota river flowing into Ariake Sea, west of Saga plains, is a quiet rural town rich in land clear air and plenty of cool-clear water which is indispensable to making good “honest sake”.
Our sake is made with only excellent ingredients of rice, yeast and water by the traditional three-step preparation to bring out the gentle sweetness of rice. Since born in this town in 1789, Azumacho has been loved and tasted by the local people for generations up until now.
Azumacho has been awarded gold medals by the National New Sake Appraising and Deliberating Fair and the Fukuoka Regional Taxation Bureau’s Research Institute Brewing.
