Otsuka Shuzo is a historic sake brewery located in Komoro City, Nagano Prefecture, founded in 1831.
 It is conveniently situated just a five-minute walk from Komoro Station.
 The atmosphere inside the shop is calm and serene, warmly welcoming visitors.
 Although there are no seats available for enjoying sake on-site, customers can directly purchase products from the "sales area" within the brewery.
One of the most popular brands from this brewery is "Asama Dake.
" The sake produced using distinctive hard water has a diverse range of varieties.
 "Asama Dake Junmai" is crisp on the palate, with a rich aroma and a gentle taste that balances mild sweetness and the umami of rice.
 This junmai sake is easy to drink and has a pleasant aftertaste, making it beloved by many.
Additionally, Otsuka Shuzo offers seasonal limited editions and "Benten no Izumi," which utilizes locally sourced rice.
 "Benten no Izumi," made from Akita Komachi rice, has a light drinking experience while maintaining a rich flavor profile.
 Its unique aroma carries faint nuances reminiscent of straw and rice husks, allowing for a delightful array of flavors.
 The passion and expertise that go into the brewing process result in high-quality sake that is both approachable and sophisticated.
 The deep flavors and aromas that come from this long-standing brewery provide an experience worth savoring.
When visiting Otsuka Shuzo, guests can explore not only its captivating product lineup but also engage with Japanese culture and tradition.
 I highly recommend taking the time to visit and discover a bottle that may become your new favorite.
