About

No matter how skilled a brewer may be, there is one thing that cannot be done: the rice variety cannot be swapped during brewing. Any craftsman would surely feel that it is not right to speak about sake without ever having grown rice. Any craftsman would wish to have even better raw material. With that wish, the brewery began growing its own rice in 2010. Growing rice has changed us. Rice is a single small grain to you, but to us it has come to look larger than it did before. You may think of rice as something hard and unchanging. Yet shaped by the weather (vintage), we have come to realize that the qualities within each grain differ remarkably from year to year. We have also come to realize how powerless people are before the weather. What we want to convey to you through sake is this: every year, each rice paddy holds its own drama and terroir, and sake brewing begins in the paddy.
