Our concept for brewing sake

We devote ourselves to brewing sake with our concept, “From Saku, we present impressing and resonating sake with your heart”.
Sawanohana’s brand theme is “Sake making your mind a little comfortable”,
while that of Beau Michelle is “Sake making your mind a little exciting”.
We hope to convey these messages to our customers through our sake.

And another important thing is that our sake must be locally-brewed in Saku.
We brew sake from the infiltrated water of Yatsugatake mountains water system and sake rice developed in Nagano Prefecture.

Sake brewing begins with washing the rice.
We wash all the rice by 10 kg. It may take about 2 and a half hours if the quantity is large.
When Koji, Shubo (yeast), Moromi (unrefined sake) are carefully prepared, the squeezed sake is bottled immediately,
being followed by the pasteurization, rapid cooling and refrigerated storage.
While we introduce modern technology and equipment, we never change traditional methods with much time and effort.
From early morning to the midnight, we take care of the microorganisms to brew sake. That is our policy.
