■ Listening to Mozart while fermenting!? Musical sake 'Kurashikku' 
The most unique point here is that they play 'classical music' to the fermentation tanks where the mash is fermented. After trying various genres, they arrived at the melodies of Mozart. By providing the yeast with the subtle vibrations of music, fermentation is gently promoted, transforming it into a mellow and fruity flavor with little bitterness or acidity—truly a 'magical method.' This flagship brand 'Kurashikku' is highly regarded both domestically and internationally.

■ A unique sake experience exclusive to the brewery 
At the direct sales store, you can enjoy tastings of mellow musical sake, as well as unique and playful drinks such as the vibrant pink 'Peach Nigori Sake' and even a pure rice sake made specifically to be enjoyed with 'Kitakata Ramen.' Experience the historic brewery space and the romantic sake-making resonating with Mozart through all your senses.
