Craft a one-of-a-kind bottle that captures your story—from your own field to the glass.
“I want to turn the rice from this very field into a special sake.”
“I want to bottle the spirit of our community into something we can share.”At ITO SHUZO, we help bring those dreams to life.
Let’s craft a one-of-a-kind sake using the rice you grew—with care, meaning, and a story worth savoring.
Plan Features – Sake Brewed with Your Own Rice
✔ Brewed from the rice you grow
We use your personally harvested rice—whether grown by a family, a local organization, or a school—to create a one-of-a-kind sake full of meaning.
✔ Ideal for commemorations and local branding
Perfect for community milestones, school anniversaries, or launching a regional sake product.
✔ Customizable label, bottle, and box
Design your own label, from commemorative messages to photos and family crests.
✔ Small-batch friendly
Typical batch size starts from approx. 100 bottles (720ml), depending on rice polish and brewing specs.
✔ Choice of final format
In addition to standard pasteurized sake, options like genshu (undiluted) or nama genshu (unpasteurized) are available (subject to conditions).

returning to the roots of sake-making.
Recommended Batch Size: ~100 bottles (720ml)
⚪ Ginjō-Style Type｜40–80% Rice Polish
Clean, refined flavors in line with junmai ginjō or daiginjō sake.
