Manly use local brewery rice to brew sake. Currently, we started to cooperate with local experienced farmers and produce a special brewery rice ``Ginnosato`` through organic farming.

WATER

There is a well 200m deep in the brewery. The water comes from Haku Mountain which is one of the highest mountain in this area and designated as national park due to its abundant nature.
