Each brewery is led by a Toji (master brewer) who oversees every aspect of production. These master craftsmen often come from specific guilds with centuries of tradition.
Traditional sake breweries (kura) are architectural marvels designed for optimal brewing conditions. Thick walls, high ceilings, and strategic ventilation create perfect fermentation environments.
Many breweries partner with local rice farmers to ensure the highest quality sake rice. These relationships often span generations.
While honoring tradition, today's breweries embrace technology to enhance quality and consistency in their sake production.
