Founded in 1718, Hanaharu Shuzo has been crafting sake loved by the local Aizu community for over 300 years under the motto, "The goodness of Aizu is in its sake." A unique aspect of their brewing process is in-house rice polishing. Additionally, they use an advanced ultra-pure water system to adjust water hardness based on the type of sake being brewed, accommodating differences between the water qualities of Aizu-Wakamatsu and Kitakata. This meticulous approach results in sake with a gentle aroma and flavor, making it approachable even for those new to sake.
