    Overview


    Nishibori Shuzo is a long-established sake brewery located in Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, founded in the 5th year of the Meiji era (1872).
     It is conveniently situated about 3,584 meters from Mamada Station.
     The business hours are from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, with Sundays and public holidays being closed.
     It is advisable to check the business hours and holidays in advance when planning a visit.
    At this brewery, a diverse range of sake, centering around the flagship brand "Mongai Bushutsu," can be enjoyed.
     The "Mongai Bushutsu Tokubetsu Junmai Namazake" is particularly noted for its gentle mouthfeel and rich flavor of rice, which features a moderate sweetness and a pleasant aftertaste, earning high praise.
     The "Mongai Bushutsu" series strikes an exquisite balance with its fruity aroma and crisp dryness, making it beloved by many.
    Nishibori Shuzo offers a tasting set that allows visitors to sample various brands, including the "Gensen Nomikurabe Kobin 6-Bottle Set," which includes a selection of different sake in smaller quantities.
     This set features a variety of flavors, including "Mongai Bushutsu Junmai Karakuchi" and "Wakasaki Green Label," each exhibiting unique characteristics.
     Served as chilled sake, these offerings each boast their own allure.
    Additionally, Nishibori Shuzo also handles doburoku, a type of unrefined sake, which deserves attention for its rich flavor and distinctiveness.
     The doburoku known as "Sena" presents a tingling sensation alongside a fruity taste, making it well worth a try.
     Despite its alcohol content, its thickness prevents one from drinking it all at once, while still providing a satisfying taste.
    Although there are no seating arrangements available in the store, a variety of products are available for purchase as souvenirs.
     The area surrounding Nishibori Shuzo is home to several points of interest, including a registered tangible cultural property, the Nagaya Gate, and a chimney, making it worthwhile to visit and experience its historical significance.
     Even on weekday afternoons, active deliveries by courier services ensure that you can purchase items without much waiting, which is another great convenience.
    We highly recommend visiting Nishibori Shuzo to savor its enticing selection of sake.
