Ishikawa Sake Brewery (Fussa City, Tokyo) ~A “Drinker's Theme Park” Lined with Cultural Treasures~

■ A versatile sake that pairs well with any cuisine, from Japanese to Chinese and Western dishes

Ishikawa Sake Brewery was founded in 1863 in the Tama region of western Tokyo, blessed with natural beauty.
The flagship brand is “Tama Jiman.” It was named with the wish: “Singing the praises of Tama, we hope to become Tama's pride and fulfill the hearts of many people.”

The water used for brewing is mineral-rich natural groundwater drawn from 150 meters below the surface.
They continue to brew fine sake with heartfelt dedication while preserving traditional techniques.

Ishikawa Sake Brewery pursues sake that complements meals.
The sweet, mildly fragrant sake they brew pairs well with any cuisine—Japanese, Chinese, Western—and you'll find yourself wanting to drink it every day.

■ A Sake Lover’s Paradise: Drink, Dine, Learn—and Stay Overnight

Ishikawa Sake Brewery's alternative name is "Drinker's Theme Park".
The expansive grounds feature an Italian restaurant serving seasonal ingredients and a Japanese restaurant renowned for its exceptional fresh seafood.
You can enjoy a blissful gastronomic experience with freshly brewed sake and drinks available only here.

Actually, Ishikawa Shuzo focuses not only on sake brewing but also on beer production.
We make a variety of beers that use our own natural underground water, which is also used for sake brewing. Tokyo's eponymous "TOKYO BLUES" and "Tama no e" are Tokyo's leading craft beers. These specialty beers can also be tasted at the on-site eateries.

One of the highlights is that six nationally registered tangible cultural properties still exist on the grounds.
The museum, which offers a wealth of historical materials about the Ishikawa family and the history of sake brewing, attracts many visitors from both Japan and abroad.

Guided tours are also available by advance reservation. Tours are primarily conducted in Japanese, but if you wish to take an English-language tour, please see the details on the following page.

■ Advancing DX to create an inclusive workplace for people with disabilities

Another major feature of Ishikawa Sake Brewery is its proactive approach to employing people with disabilities.
They are working to create a workplace where diverse talents can fully utilize their abilities, establishing systems that go beyond merely providing employment opportunities.

In the sake brewing industry, the shortage of workers is becoming increasingly severe each year against the backdrop of a declining birthrate and aging population, making securing personnel on the ground a major challenge. Amidst this situation, Ishikawa Sake Brewery is focusing its efforts on the introduction of DX (Digital Transformation).

By advancing the digitization of manufacturing and administrative tasks and increasing the proportion of roles involving programming and data management, they are creating more jobs that rely less heavily on physical strength. As a result, an environment is being fostered where individuals with intellectual or physical disabilities and senior citizens can work comfortably while leveraging their unique strengths and experience.
