Walk into Hatsumomidi and find yourself in a compact, modern brewery in central Shunan, where efficient equipment hums alongside a lively young team. Upstairs, in the old wooden section, the koji room quietly anchors tradition. Staff collect local water each week, an essential part of the process. As you move through the brewery, you get an up-close look at contemporary sake production, before enjoying a guided tasting of three Harada variants that highlight how different brewing methods shape flavor. Non-alcoholic options are also available for non-drinkers and guests under 20.
