What kind of brewery is Fukubijin Shuzo?
The brewery has made sake in Saijo since 1917 (Taisho 6). Because its skills drew toji from across the country to learn, it came to be called the Saijo Sake Brewing School. In 1968 a 28-year-old Okada was appointed toji, taught by his predecessor. Brewing is now centered on the Daikokugura building, while the Ebisugura building keeps its red-brick chimney. The current toji is named Ishikawa.
