Profile: Based on the policy that "Sake brewing is rice brewing," employees and local contract farmers work together to cultivate raw rice such as Yamada Nishiki, and cultivate, polish, and brew rice consistently. Only "Junmai Sake" (including Junmai Ginjo Sake and Junmai Daiginjo Sake), which is made only from rice and rice koji, is brewed with a sake quality design as an in-meal sake.
