Umetsu Shuzō
prefecture: Tottori
Since 1865, Umetsu Shuzō Co., Ltd. has woven the art of traditional sake brewing into the fabric of Tottori Prefecture. Guided by sixth-generation President Fuminori Umetsu, this cherished brewery blends heritage with a bold, innovative spirit. Renowned for its Kimoto method, Umetsu crafts sake with layered complexity—rich rice aromas and a finish that lingers—using the prized local Yamada-nishiki rice. Since 1984, their passion has spilled beyond sake into shochu, ume-sake, and delights like yuzu-kissed sake, mirin, and pear wine. Every bottle sings of Tottori’s soul, shared with the world through unwavering dedication and love for the craft.
