What kind of brewery is it?
Fuji Takasago Shuzo stands in Takaracho, Fujinomiya, Shizuoka, and brews with Mount Fuji spring water. The Shizuoka sake brewers' association places its founding around 1830 (Tenpo 1) by the Yamanaka family, merchants from Omi, though sources give differing years. Its toji is introduced as Mr. Ono, in the Noto tradition. The main label is Takasago. Tours run four times a day (10:30, 13:30, 14:30, 15:30), take about 45 minutes and need a reservation by the day before, with free tasting afterward.
