Yamanaka Shuzoten is a historic sake brewery located in Joso City, Ibaraki Prefecture, just 292 meters from Ishige Station.
 Founded in the second year of the Bunka era, it has a long history and continues to be loved by local people.
 The shop has no seating, creating a casual atmosphere that makes it easy to stop by.
This brewery is particularly famous for its sake brand "Hitorimusume.
" The "Hitorimusume Tokubetsu Junmai" is a special pure rice sake made using wine yeast, characterized by a moderate acidity and sweetness that gives it a fruity flavor.
 Its soft mouthfeel and gentle sweetness have earned high praise from many.
 Additionally, they also handle "Junmai Ginjo Muroka Namagenshu," which is well appreciated for its rich flavor.
The shop offers a diverse selection of sake, allowing customers to take their time finding their favorite.
 For those who prefer a dry taste, the "Chosharakuchi" sake is a must-try, providing a refreshing drinking experience without the typical sweetness found in sake.
 Such a variety is sure to delight customers looking for unique souvenirs.
Yamanaka Shuzoten also places a strong emphasis on additive-free amazake, with "Hitorimusume Amazake" being naturally sweet and exceptionally easy to drink, garnering support from a wide range of customers from young children to the elderly.
 This commitment to quality is a testament to the trust placed in them by many.
Furthermore, this brewery offers sake crafted by renowned toji (master brewers) recognized across Japan.
 The "Hitorimusume Honjozo" has been chosen as the 7th Yokozuna and has achieved first place in the 15th National Sake Competition, reflecting their confidence in quality.
 The packaging design is also thoughtfully done, making it suitable as a souvenir for foreign visitors.
I highly encourage you to visit Yamanaka Shuzoten to experience its captivating sakes and carefully crafted products for yourself.
