[What is 'Ichi kara hajimeru Ichinokura'?] A project where employees representing the future of the brewery produce sake from scratch. They handle everything from choosing the rice variety to planting and harvesting, involving the brewery's own farm. Brewing is led by Masaru Abe, a Vice Brewmaster who obtained the Nanbu Toji qualification in 2022, focusing on flavors that leverage traditional methods and specific rice characteristics.

[What is Ichinokura Farm?] Established as an internal department in 2004, following lessons from the 1993 cold-summer disaster, to ensure stable rice supply and sustainable farming. It currently manages approximately 25 hectares of farmland, where it cultivates rice and vegetables, accumulating and sharing know-how for high-quality ingredient rice production.
