Keep away from light, in a dry, temperate place.
Asahara Shuzo is a family-run brewery located in Saitama Prefecture, in the hills above the Chichibu Mountains, northwest of Tokyo. It was founded in 1882 by Zenjiro Asahara when he was just 29, and is now run by Kenichi Asahara, the 5th generation. The Saïtama region is relatively new to sake production, and doesn't enjoy the same reputation as some more traditional areas. This recent history has prompted Asahara Shuzo to innovate to attract attention. Today, the company offers products with a strong character, produced by two very young Toji in their early thirties. These dynamic brewers were trained directly by Kenichi Asahara, a master in the art of handling yeast.
