Founded in 1777, Shirasugi Brewery is located in Kyotango City in northern Kyoto Prefecture. The brewery is highly regarded for its innovative approach to sake brewing, including its commitment to producing sake with all rice koji and all white rice, techniques that highlight the true character of the grain. Shirasugi is particularly famous for pioneering the use of table rice—such as Koshihikari and Milky Queen from the Tango region—to craft sake with exceptional softness, clarity, and a gentle sweetness. Its flagship “Shirakiku” series showcases a unique balance of tradition and creativity, earning the brewery strong recognition among sake enthusiasts across Japan.
