Shimizu Brewery was founded in 1751 by Shimizu Teiichirō (清水定一郎) in Tsukui, Sagamihara. It is one of the oldest sake breweries in Kanagawa. The fifth generation of the Shimizu moved to the current location in Nakano, Midori-ku, in search of better water quality. The ninth generation under Shimizu Tarō (清水太郎) currently runs the brewery.

Shimizu's Daiginjō won the Monde Selection Gold Award five consecutive years since 1996. The Junmai Daiginjō won the Monde Selection Gold Award for three straight years since 1997. It has received high acclaim in Japan and overseas, including the Gold Prize at the National New Species Appraisal. Their sake can be purchased directly from the brewery or at a liquor store in Tsukui.

Shimizu's Honjōzō greets the senses with a delicate aroma of dried fruits, leading to a rich and rounded experience on the palate. A delightfully sweet sensation complements its creamy texture and robust body, while the presence of umami and a hint of bitterness ensure a harmonious balance—a classic banshaku (晩酌, a regular evening drink) of the very best kind.
