What kind of brewery is it?
History
Brewing began in 1689 at the gate of Naritasan Shinshoji temple. The name comes from the Nabe-za, an iron-goods guild that the founder managed. A satellite brewery in Hyogo in 1909 gave rise to the Jinyu brand, and in 1942 the company consolidated its breweries at Kozaki. It once hired toji from Niigata and Nanbu but since 1997 its own employees handle steaming, koji, fermentation and bottling. The Fudo brand began in 2004.
What makes it distinct
| Master brewer | Since 1997 the sake is made by employees rather than an outside toji guild. |
|---|---|
| Also | The Kozaki brewery is in Kozaki town, Katori district, Chiba. |
