Sake making at Izumibashi Brewing Company is all about commitment to natural and traditional processes. The current president, Yuichi Hashiba, is responsible for creating their dragonfly logo, expressing their philosophy to use safe, environmentally friendly rice growing methods to make sure the dragonfly can come back to the fields every year. Rarely you will find a sake brewery that is committed to growing all of their sake rice, polishing their rice in-house, and brewing it in the most labor-intensive, traditional ways, such as using the smallest batch called “koji buta,” and incorporating kimoto methods.
