Nishizawa is a junmai sake and honkaku shochu specialty store in Azumabashi, Sumida City, Tokyo. Rather than stocking everything, we value face-to-face relationships with breweries and carry only the bottles the owner truly stands behind.
Not sure what to choose? That is exactly who we are here for. Tell us your taste, budget and the dish you will pair it with, and we will choose a bottle together. First-timers and connoisseurs alike are most welcome.
