Founded in 1903 as Hirota Shuzoten in Shiwa, Iwate, the brewery now operates as Shiwa Shuzoten in a town celebrated as the birthplace of the Nanbu toji, Japan's most renowned guild of master brewers. Under the Hiroki brand, it makes everything from everyday sake to a Junmai Daiginjo polished to a striking 28%, called Albireo. The kura also brews an amazake using glutinous rice grown locally in Shiwa.
