Fukugen Kura-do

While many brewers work at sake breweries throughout the year, Fukugen daringly selects people (Kurabito) who can work in the brewery only in the winter and engage in agriculture in the spring, summer, and fall. In other words, Fukugen entrusts the production to masters who are familiar with both agriculture and sake brewing techniques. This is because Fukugen believes that knowing everything about the nature of this land is an important element that is indispensable for Fukugen sake brewing. Fukugen believe the uniqueness of Fukugen flavor and taste exists because of their local kurabito.
