Hananomai Brewery has pursued the value of local sake, using 100% Shizuoka-grown rice in their production. In Shizuoka Prefecture, known for producing tea and mandarins, it is possible to source high-quality rice that rivals other prefectures. To fully harness the value of Shizuoka-grown rice, the brewery upgraded its facilities and honed the skills of the toji (master brewer) and brewery workers, creating the finest local sake of Shizuoka.
