About
Ozeki (Grand Champion) is one of the Nada Big Five and a major global sake brand. The name evokes the highest sumo rank, reflecting the brewery's ambition since its founding over 300 years ago. While known for volume production, their Josen line and premium expressions demonstrate that Nada's Big Five maintain serious craft capabilities alongside mass-market reach.
