About Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten
They named their sake “Zaku” (which means “the work”) to express their feeling that sake brewing does not end with bottling the beverage. The work is continued by the liquor store that sells it, the restaurant that serves it, and the connoisseur who drinks it. Zaku is also popular with Gundam fans.
Founded in 1869, the brewery takes advantage of the pristine subterranean water and fertile fields of the Ise Plain – Mie Prefecture – despite which it is the only one to remain operating in the Suzuka region.

A commitment to locally-grown rice and small-scale batch brewing, and dedication to craft sake that matches with a variety of modern cuisines, have earned them a legion of fans, including football player Hidetoshi Nakata.
