https://www.e-kinokuniya.com/store/GourmandMarket/shibuya-scramble-square* ■About “haccoba -Craft Sake Brewery-”
In February 2021, we established a brewery in Odaka, Fukushima Prefecture, a town whose population temporarily dropped to zero due to evacuations following the nuclear power plant accident. Since July 2023, we have been operating a brewery in the neighboring town of Namie.
Based on the idea of “making sake more freely,” we express the old “Doburoku” culture and recipes in a modern way. We create sake freely that transcends the boundaries of genre.
“Hanamoto” is a traditional method of fermenting Japan’s native hop “Karakaso” with rice.
Their representative brand is “Hanauta Hops,” an alcoholic beverage that has been revived and incorporates modern craft beer manufacturing methods.
In addition, we ferment various ingredients together with rice to create sake with a variety of flavors that cannot be expressed with conventional sake.
