About Hata Shuzo
Hata Shuzo does only junmai brewing, primarily with ginfubuki rice- also has their own rice farm, and otherwise only uses local farms. Own rice is about 20% of production / contract 80%. They only pursue Shiga GI for pasteurized yamahai, because they endeavor to reach higher than the standard. Owner-toji wants to make a sake with ingredients that he knows, he drinks it himself, sake that he knows himself, that is the main concept of Daijiro. He’s still vital and energetic. "He’s an easy person. I just call him shacho."
