As the official exporter, our company is proud to collaborate with sake breweries that embody the rich tradition and innovation of Japan.

Each brewery is a small to medium-scale producer, distinguished by its unique techniques and compelling stories, crafting rare and locally treasured masterpieces to share with the world.

In the PDF files linked below, you will find detailed information about each brewery, including their unique characteristics, flagship products, and notable achievements.

Due to country-specific export regulations and existing distributor agreements, certain breweries or products may have restrictions on availability. Additionally, export pricing varies depending on the region, product type, and quantity.

Examples of exportable countries for each sake brewery:

・China: SANSHORAKU, KIKUSUI
・Hong Kong: KIKUSUI, MYOKO, KUROSAWA ,SEIUN,TOA, USAGIDA
・Taiwan: KIKUSUI, MYOKO

・England: SANSHORAKU, KIKUSUI, MYOKO, KUROSAWA

Sanshoraku boasts a history spanning nearly 150 years, with most of its sake being consumed within Toyama Prefecture.

This means that what has nurtured Sanshoraku over the years is undoubtedly the various elements surrounding the brewery—namely, the local people and the unique climate and natural features of the region.

We have created a 10-minute video that introduces the sake brewing process at Sanshoraku, its flavors and aromas, as well as the remarkable natural environment, cultural background of Toyama Prefecture, and insights from the brewery’s master brewer.

Please enjoy this video as a small journey to experience Sanshoraku.

At KIKUSUI, items are ideally aged in a dark tunnel where light cannot reach, and the temperature remains at a constant 11 degrees Celsius throughout the year.

KIKUSUI sake brewery is temporarily closed and will reopen this coming May. During this time, they will focus on selling their existing stock until the next brewing season. New sake production is planned to begin in autumn, with the release of new products scheduled for 2026.

HANYU DISTILLERY

Toa Shuzo’s whisky business began in 1946 when our company acquired a whiskey manufacturing license. At first, our company blended and stored casks of malt whisky imported from Scotland. In 1980, the company built our own pot still and began to experiment with the production of malt whisky.

Due to a decline in the whisky market, Hanyu Distillery ceased operations in 2000 and whisky production stopped in 2004.

But in our hearts, we believed one day we will make whisky again. As we stabilized our business, we once again took up the challenge of making whisky. After resuming operation of our distillery, we wanted to revive the former Hanyu Distillery in every way. Fortunately, the original employees who ran the distillery last time were still with us.

In November 2020, the completed still was brought in and a test run was conducted. In February 2021, finely ground malt was put into the mash tun with hot water, and the long, long whiskey-making journey began.

Under the watchful eye of our master distillers, distillation in the first pot still began, and after 20 years, the long-awaited distillate began to pour out. We also are storing barrels in their original location, as we continue to strive to recreate the original taste of Golden Horse.

If you are interested in distributing authentic, high-quality Japanese sake, we would be delighted to discuss potential collaborations.
