Experiences at Matsu

Experience
Heiwa Shuzo Sake Dinner
6 Course sake pairing dinner ft. Heiwa Shuzo and Shota san. Heiwa Shuzo was founded in 1928 and is located just outside Kainan City in Wakayama. The site where the brewery is located was a temple for over 500 years before the brewery was established. It wasn’t until 1957 when Sake production commenced full-time. The brewery is located in a valley surrounded by mountains, blessed with high precipitation, resulting in a boundless supply of good quality soft spring water, perfect for brewing Sake. Their incredibly soft and luscious water, known as Koyasan Nansui, flows down from Koyasan temple; a world heritage site. Heiwa won Brewer of the Year at IWC in back to back years (2019 & 2020) a feat never accomplished by any other sake brewery.
