Kanagaso, Komatsu City, where the NOGUCHI NAOHIKO SAKE INSTITUTE is located, is a mountain village with beautiful nature. Near the top of Mt. Kananbo, from which the name Kanagaso comes, there is a statue of “Kannon” (the Goddess of Mercy in Buddhism), and the brewery is facing Mt. Kanabo. Under the watchful eye of “Kannon”, who is said to be an incarnation of water, the sacred mountain of Hakusan, with its subsoil water gushing forth, is used as brewing water to produce the sake of Mr. Naohiko Noguchi, who is also known as “the god of sake brewing. Rice, yeast, water, and an ideal climate are necessary for sake brewing. On top of the data that Mr. Noguchi has gathered over the decades; data using the latest technology is accumulated to produce delicious sake. It tastes great when it is freshly pressed, but the longer it is aged, the deeper it becomes...this is the result of both technical and technological expertise.
