The Village with a Sake Brewery
Asahi-Shuzo has always brewed its sake amid the natural beauty of Koshiji, an area surrounded by rice fields and uncultivated woodland. We take pride in celebrating the village of Koshiji, our hometown, and the special joys each season brings to it amid the bounty of nature: tea ceremonies amid the green foliage of spring; fireflies in summer; gardens of red maple leaves in autumn; and tours of sake breweries in winter. At Shoraikaku, tea ceremonies, entertainment and exhibitions are frequently held, and regular concerts are presented in the entrance hall. Koshiji is a village where you can savor both the beauty of nature and a rich cultural heritage.
