Preserving tradition while incorporating new techniques, sake brewing for the future
Nakazawa Sake Brewery was founded in 1825 and is committed to brewing sake honestly, without pandering or arrogance.
The name of the representative brand "Matsumidori" was given to the Odawara clan by the Okubo family, the castle lords, as they were the official merchants of the Odawara domain. The name comes from the scenic beauty of the Matsuda area, with "matsu" (pine) referring to the rows of pine trees along the Sakagawa River that runs alongside the brewery, "bi" (beauty) referring to the beautiful scenery of Matsuda town and this delicious sake, and "tori" (bird) referring to the shape of the sake jar.
Ryo Kagiwada, the 11th generation owner of a family business with approximately 200 years of history, is brewing a new type of sake that focuses on the yeast while maintaining the 100% handmade production method that has been passed down from generation to generation.
