Gonda Shuzo (Naozane)

Gonda Shuzo, founded in 1850, is the only brewery in Kumagaya that continues to brew local sake. The flagship brand, 'Naozane,' was named through a public contest after Kumagaya Naozane, a samurai closely associated with this region. It is a brand that has long been loved by the people of Kumagaya. We take pride in our handcrafted process, using traditional vat pressing (fune-gake) to slowly press all the mash, and incorporating ingredients such as 'Sake Musashi'—a sake rice born in Saitama—and yeast unique to the prefecture. This dedication results in a robust rice umami and a crisp finish. It is a powerful yet unpretentious flavor, fitting for the home of the samurai. We invite you to experience a glass that captures the very warmth of artisanal craftsmanship.
