About Master Brewers
Master brewers are commanders of sake brewing. It goes without saying that they are experts in the technicalities of sake brewing. Furthermore, master brewers are well-rounded artisans with leadership, judgment and managerial skills who need to manage the whole brewing team during the six-month brewing period.
Malted rice which is used to brew sake comes from inducing yeast from steamed rice. Brewers carefully manage this process within high temperature and high humidity workshops.
Annual Open Brewery
At our Annual Open Brewery in October, you can taste our latest sake of the year. Stalls are lined up within the premises and in the nearby Koshin Temple compound. Many come to enjoy new sake every year.
Retail Store
You can purchase sake at our retail store.
