Zuiyo’s Junmai Nigori Sake is an unfiltered sake, also known as “cloudy sake,” characterized by its cloudy white color and intense rice aroma. Unlike clear sake, Nigori Sake intentionally retains the sake sediment, also known as “ori.” This gives it a creamy texture and a full-bodied mouthfeel. Zuiyo Junmai Nigori Sake has a high umami content and the natural acidity and sweetness of the rice, making it extremely easy to drink.

About the manufacturer

Taihachi Yoshimura founded the Zuiyo company in Kawashiri in 1867 and was one of the pioneers of sake production in Kumamoto. Previously, only the local specialty Akazake was produced here. Akazake, or "red" sake, is mainly used today as a condiment, but was the only alcoholic beverage produced in Kumamoto at the time. In addition, the Kumamoto Prefectural Sake Institute was founded on its land in 1909 in order to optimize brewing techniques there. This made Zuiyo an important player in Kumamoto's sake history. In 1922, the institute was relocated to Shimasaki, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City.

The brewery is very proud to be the birthplace of Kumamoto sake culture. The company was once founded with the aim of producing high-quality products rooted in the local climate. Almost 160 years later, the founder's vision continues to be realized by the following generations. Every day, the company faces the challenge of producing authentic, strong sake that is typical of Kumamoto. The 2016 earthquake caused significant damage to breweries in the prefecture, including Higashihigura, where Zuiyo Akazake brews. Fortunately, the company received support from all over the country and was able to resume production within a very short time.

Today, Zuiyo is still one of the few breweries in Kumamoto to produce Akazake. The company is also famous for its Nihonshu, which has won numerous national and international awards. In addition to sake, Zuiyo also produces delicious shochu very successfully.
