Suginomori Brewery sits at close to 1000m in the breathtaking & snow-capped alps of Nagano, the highest altitude sake brewing facility in Japan.

High up in the Japanese Alps in the town of Narai-juku, surrounded by the cedar forests, a tiny sake brewery called Suginomori Shuzo has been brewing sake and is beloved by its community since 1793. 

Like many historic breweries, the brewery succumbed to the decline of sake sales and went dormant in 2012. Almost a decade later, a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2021 led to the heroic resurrection & revival of the brewing facility.

北アルプスは長野県奈良井宿にて、1793年から酒造りを続ける小さな酒蔵、杉の森酒造は標高１０００ｍに位置する日本一標高の高い酒造場です。

多くの歴史ある酒蔵が経験してきたように、杉の森酒造も日本酒の売り上げ減少に伴い2012年に休眠状態に陥りました。それから約10年後、2021年にクラウドファンディングを成功させ酒造施設の再生と復活を実現させました。
