About Brewery
​
Juhachi Zakari Shuzo is situated in Kojima, Kurashiki on the shores facing the iconic Seto Ohashi Bridge. Also located nearby is the Washuzan area, famous for its scenic views of the stunning Seto archipelago, and for being the first park in Japan to receive national designation. Due to this close proximity to the sea, we have always strived to make umami rich sake that compliments the abundance of seafood of which this region is famous. In recent years, the diversification of food culture has seen cuisine evolve to include both Japanese and Western styles. Therefore, we try to make Juhachi Zakari in a way that closely matches these various different styles of cooking. We endeavor to brew sake that places importance on the balance of the three elements of a gentle fragrance, a taste that utilises the richness of the rice, and a clean sharp finish that you will not tire of drinking.
