Proud to introduce Shibata Shuzo

Make it stand out

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Shibata Shuzo was established in 1830 in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, and is currently led by the Shibata family’s 8th generation President.

Located in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, the village is called, “Kanzui” or “God’s water.” The water itself is outstandingly soft (water hardness of 0.2), and is one of the softest waters in all of Japan. Creating exceptionally smooth sake.

Shibata uses this Kanzui water for every step in the sake production process, including for Shikomi Mizu, or preparation water.

As well as the Kimoto and Yamahai methods that utilize naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria. These methods are labor-intensive; time consuming; and require more patience than modern methods to produce a rich, full-bodied sake.

Led by Shizuka Ito, one of very few female Toji (brewery master) in Japan, Shibata sits at an elevation of 350 meters above sea level, and thereby benefits from cool summers and extremely cold winters.
