Daimon Shuzo, founded in 1826, is located at the foot of the scenic Ikoma mountain range in Katano City (near Osaka). Katano occupies a well-known spot in Japanese history. During the Heian era (over 1000 years ago), the aristocracy of Western Japan flocked to Katano to enjoy the very beautiful scenery that abounded there including lovely cherry blossoms in the spring and the verdant surrounding mountains. Hunting was the main sport of the gentry and cotton seed oil and silk production were the usual industries of the residents. Daimon Shuzo in Osaka, Kansai Region. Sake production began during the Edo period, but of the many sake-producing firms originally present, only Daimon Shuzo and one other remain.

The sake we make is known by the brand name Rikyubai. Our sake is, in general, full flavored but mellow and balanced. Our higher grades of sake are often very lightly laced with fruit essences such as pear and peach. A nice acidity suffuses the flavor, allowing it to spread out evenly.
