What kind of brewery is it?
Suwa Shuzo stands among the old post-town streets of Chizu, Yazu District, Tottori, and was founded in Ansei 6 (1859). It draws seepage water from the Sendai River and uses it untreated from brewing through bottle washing. The water is ultra-soft, with a hardness of about 2, which gives gentle fermentation and a soft mouthfeel. Its main labels are Suwaizumi, Mantenboshi and Sugi no Shizuku; Mantenboshi is named for the town flower, the dodan tsutsuji. Tours are not accepted, but products can be bought at the shop Kajiya.
