Kasen (Kasen Shuzo)
In Tsuwano, home to the Taikogani Inari Shrine—one of Japan's five great Inari shrines—lies 'Kasen,' the local sake of Kasen Shuzo, which boasts a history of approximately 300 years. It is said that the brewery began in 1730 (the 15th year of the Kyoho era) when the first generation, who operated a rice wholesale business in Tsuwano, started brewing sake. Currently, the tenth generation serves as the head of the family, while the eleventh generation serves as the Toji (master brewer), making it a long-established brewery that has truly passed down its traditions through generations. They continue to uphold handmade production methods rather than relying solely on machinery. The brewing water is sourced from the underground springs of Mount Aono. It is a cup that pursues the authentic flavor of sake—dry yet full-bodied. The adorable fox label, characteristic of a shrine town like Inari, is unique to Tsuwano. Its mild and easy-to-drink profile makes it a local sake that is also highly appreciated as a gift.
