“Offering a new kind of sake while still creating high-quality traditional sake”

“Sake making by combining cutting-edge technology with traditional craftmanship”

Nakano Sake Brewery aims to improve quality by using cutting edge technology in creating Japanese sake. In the past, where human intuition and experience were heavily relied on for determining temperature and moisture for adjusting and controlling. Nakano Sake Brewery has developed technology to help facilitate and substitute for some of these processes. This allows brewmasters to focus on processes that require traditional craftmanship and their use of five senses to create the finest products. By using technology and cutting-edge machinery as tools to help create databases for analyzing data and case-studies, along with the combination of traditional craftmanship, they are able to create consistently high-quality products.
