RICE

The quality of rice influences on the quality of Sake. Polishing rice carefully according to the characteristic of each rice is the first step to produce delicious Sake.
To produce Sake with the local rice, we brewers grow the rice and understand nature by watching the growing condition.

WATER

My place is called ``the town of water`` and blessed with the crystal clear water source. There are so many spring waters in the town and a lot of people come to draw water.
We use this spring water, which is very soft, in mountain nearby the brewery. The characteristic of our Sake is mild and soft and the water takes the important role to make it happen.

SKILL

We aim to be the brewery to flexibly pursue the possibility of Sake. Most of the process used to require human's heavy workload has already been replaced by the latest machine, so our main brewery doesn't have the atmosphere which most of traditional breweries have.
The machine helps us to keep tracking the progress of brewing. We brewers have the knowledge and plan to handle machine and utilize the data for brewing.

MIND

There is a terminology ``和醸良酒`` meaning the balance of koji, yeast, and Moromi will brew great sake and enlarges the harmony among the people. We aim to produce it and explore the future of Sake culture.
