Description

Inazo is an omage to the local rice culture of the region. Mitobe shuzo are visionary in their approach to rice. They have established a rice cooperative that produces sake rice and reactivates abandoned rice fields in the region. The brewers also grow and harvest their own rice, which is a rarity in today’s Japan. Mitobe shuzo thereby achieves control over the quality of their rice supply and at the same time shows social awareness and presence with their region around Tendo city in Yamagata.
