What kind of brewery is it?
History
The brewery was founded in 1880 in Matsumoto, Shinshu. Its brewing water is Northern Alps snowmelt that has travelled underground for many years. The rice, Hitogokochi and Kinmon Nishiki, both bred in Nagano, is grown entirely under contract. A new brewery was built in Matsumoto in 2020 and became the main base. The retail shop Haradaya at the head office sells nama sake and limited editions. The brewery describes its approach as brewing with love and gratitude.
