Ishii Jozo is a traditional sake brewery founded in 1870 and located in the Ashigara Plain, surrounded by lush greenery and abundant water. The brewery is known for its unique "Mochi Yondan Jikomi" method, which uses glutinous rice instead of regular sake rice for the fourth and final stage of the brewing process. This gives the sake a richer and more full-bodied flavor that distinguishes it from other sakes.
One of the recommended products is the umeshu, made with plums from the Soga Bairin, a specialty of Odawara, and the "Mochi Yondan Jikomi" sake. This umeshu has a fruity and refreshing flavor that's perfect for any season. Ishii Jozo also offers tours of the brewery, where you can learn more about the history and art of sake brewing. Ishii Jozo is a sake brewery that combines tradition and innovation, offering its customers high-quality sake made with heart and sincerity.
