Our definition of jizake 地酒 (local sake) is brewing locally grown ingredients (rice) using local techniques and climate. Sake brewing is originally a primary and secondary industry based on agricultural development, and we believe that our mission is to refine, make the region's resources more attractive, and disseminate them. |
