Daisuke Komatsu
Toji, Owner, Managing Director & Sales
Komatsu Shuzo crafts products that are very unique and attractive. All products are made by the small team of five (including Komatsu san, the owner), using the aged wooden brewing vessels and tools that was handed down from generation to generation. Komatsu san is inspired by ancient drinks fermented with Koji mold and designs distinctive products with a modern edge. He embraces the old and creates the new.
In the brewery, you can feel some silent existence of micro-organisms living in the air, waiting for its turn to jump into the tanks and make delicious fermented products out of rice: sake, mirin (sweet, fermented rice seasoning) and amazake (sweet, non-alcoholic chunky sake). These products are crafted with a very generous use of ingredients and so rich in flavours. There is no compromise given in the product taste and quality.
