What kind of brewery is it?
History
The brewery in Kamigo, Yonezawa, brews with unprocessed water from its own well, fed by the Azuma mountains. Its rice is mainly Yamagata-grown sake rice, including rice from its own fields and grown by its brewers. Gasanryu was named for the idea of designing sake freely, without fixed notions. The Kurozaemon series carries the name inherited by each head of the family since the first generation. It does not sell directly to consumers or open the brewery to visitors, and sells through contracted specialty sake shops.
