Brewery Classic (Oharashuzo Co., Ltd.)

This brewery is located about five minutes by car from Kitakata Station. Founded in 1717, it has operated for over 290 years in storehouse-district, Kitakata City, making it quite the established brewery. In addition to using spring water from Mt. Iide, they play classical music by Mozart throughout the process, from making the moromi (unrefined sake) to fermentation to create their famous “Music Sake.” In particular, their “Daiginjo Symphony Classic” won a special honors award in the Japan liquor contest in 2015—it features a mature, full taste with depth, and is very popular. They also offer free tours of the brewing process.
