EST. 1874
琵琶之誉
Since 1874 — 草津, Shiga
Ohta Shuzo of Kusatsu, descended from Edo Castle's builder Ota Dokan, has brewed sake since 1874 and distilled honkaku shochu since 1918. Its imo shochu uses 100% pesticide-free Shiga-grown Kintoki sweet potatoes at atmospheric pressure, and its barley shochu rests long in brandy casks. Tours and a shop at the kura.
