For over 300 years, Shinsei has dedicated itself to the art of sake brewing with an unwavering commitment to quality. Each critical step in the process is carefully handled by skilled artisans, as even the smallest neglect can immediately affect the sake's integrity. This meticulous approach reflects a deep respect for the craft, embodying a tradition of precision and passion passed down through generations. The brewery’s name, Shinsei, originates from a poem by Bai Juyi, a Tang Dynasty poet, where the word symbolizes sake's ability to bring solace and dispel worries.
Based in Fushimi, Kyoto, Shinsei benefits from an abundant supply of pristine underground water known as Shiragikusui. This natural spring water, low in iron and rich in minerals, is ideal for brewing, giving the sake its full-bodied flavor and smooth finish, making it a perfect match for meals. Since its founding in 1677, Shinsei has seamlessly blended tradition with innovation, preserving the rich cultural heritage of Kyoto’s brewing legacy while embracing new techniques to craft exceptional sake that complements Japanese food culture.
