Founded in 1893, Sasaki Shuzo brews its sakés in "Rakuchu", at the heart of the historic city centre of Kyoto. Of the some 300 original breweries, it is the only one to have endured in this district.
The exceptional topography of Kyoto and the abundance of water were the main reasons why saké was brewed in Kyoto, and why Kyoto was designated as the capital for
1,000 years.
