Kondoshuzo Information
There is famous sake in the land of Sanshi Suimei
Water is one of the most important things in sake brewing.
The tap water in Maebashi City, Akagi Nanrei, is subterranean water from Akagisan, and water drawn from the source is so famous that it is sold locally. It has a slight mineral taste which spreads across the mouth upon drinking.
At Kondoshuzo, which was founded in Meiji 8, we make full use of the climate of Akagisan and its bountiful water to producing our "refined Akagisan," filled with our passion and watched over by the mountain.

Sake Rice from Midori-shi/Kiryu
I want to protect our farmers and hometown
Idle farmland is increasing due to depopulation, labor shortages, and sluggish consumption and prices.
In order to improve, it is necessary to find new demand and value, and establish a system that reconnects with the use of farmland. With this as a local project, we are cultivating sake rice with the aim of "preserving the rich farmland and passing it on to the next generation", making local sake with that sake rice, and striving to revitalize "paddy fields that create added value". In addition, Mr. Tomihiro Hoshino, a poet and painter from Midori-shi, provided us with design drawings, and we are also working on brewing sake that is all Gunma and local Midori-shi.
