Collection: Wakayama Prefecture / Yoshimura Hideo Shoten (Kurumazaka)

This sake brewery in Iwade City, Wakayama Prefecture, was founded in 1915 by the youngest son of a family that ran a silk industry. Its flagship brand is "Kurumazaka." It uses underground water from the Kino River, which originates in Odaigahara, part of Yoshino-Kumano National Park, and flows through the Yoshino River in Nara and into Wakayama, to brew its sake. In recent years, the brewery has been actively submitting its sake to tasting competitions in Japan and abroad, where it has received high praise.
