Mizutani Brewery, a long-established sake brewery located in Aisai City, Aichi Prefecture, has been producing the sake brand Senpyo since the late Edo period. In May 2024, however, the brewery suffered a devastating fire that completely destroyed its facilities. Brewery owner Masao Mizutani and apprentice brewer Miwa Goto initially considered closing the business. However, with heartfelt support and encouragement from the local community and those around them, they resolved to continue their craft. Today, they are taking steps toward rebuilding by engaging in joint brewing efforts with other sake breweries.
