* [What is Morigawaren Co., Ltd.] *
Since its founding in 1949, Mori Kawaraten, based in Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture, has contributed to the local community as a company specializing in roofing work. Our company, which has been in existence since my grandfather’s generation, was faced with a decrease in work during the harsh winter months and the issue of training craftsmen. In order to address these issues and provide stable employment throughout the year, we entered the liqueur manufacturing industry as a new business model in 2022.
Our company aims to convey the spirit of Japanese manufacturing to the world through liqueurs that combine Hida’s tradition and innovation. ■Official website & SNS
