    Overview


    Ono Shuzo is a historic sake brewery located in Kitahiroshima Town, Yamagata District, Hiroshima Prefecture.
     It was established in the year 1697 (Genroku 10), making it a well-known establishment that carries on regional traditions.
     For transportation, it is situated about 5.2 km from the Chugoku Expressway's Chiyoda Interchange, approximately a 10-minute drive.
     There are no specific business hours set, so it is recommended to check in advance before visiting.
    At this brewery, sake is carefully brewed using rice cultivated in their own rice fields.
     A notable feature is that the 15th generation master brewer himself serves as the toji (head brewer) during the brewing season.
     This dedication contributes to the production of sake that is beloved by locals and many others.
    One of the popular seasonal products from Ono Shuzo is the "Okame Summer Junmai 720ml," a limited edition special sake.
     This sake features a perfect balance of umami and acidity derived from the rice, characterized by a refreshing and light drinking experience.
     It is particularly recommended to enjoy this sake chilled.
    Additionally, there is a micro-bubbly sake called "Natsu no Nigori Sake," which is a cloudy sake available in summer; however, this product requires refrigeration, so care should be taken.
     As there are no seating arrangements within the store, the options are limited to takeaway or enjoying the sake in other establishments.
     Therefore, after purchasing from Ono Shuzo, it is also possible to savor their sake in restaurants throughout Hiroshima City.
     Moreover, it is noted that there are no retailers in Osaka that carry their products, making it a rare gem.
    The chefs involved at Ono Shuzo have a strong commitment to their ingredients, using traditional Japanese techniques to carefully craft each bottle of sake.
     The skill and passion that go into the production of their sake have continuously garnered a loyal following.
     We encourage visitors to experience the delightful offerings from Ono Shuzo firsthand.
