FEATURE STORY

A Brewery Preserved by Rich Nature and Tradition

Shinano Hikari, the brewery's aromatic local sake, is born beside the clear Sai River, whose waters flow from the Northern Alps.

Zenkojidaira's severe winter cold provides ideal conditions for brewing. Here, the brewery has long created soft, distinctive sake by taking time and care and valuing the strengths of hand craftsmanship. The warmth of that tradition remains alive today.

All grapes used for the winery's wines are grown in Japan.
