Imanishi Seibee Shoten

Imanishi Seibee Shoten’s brand Harushika receives its name from a sake god that comes to reside in the area. In this story, the god rides into their prefecture on a deer — a motif expressed in the brand’s labeling, gratitude and approach to sake. Established in 1884 with the philosophy “Polish the rice, polish the water, polish the skill and polish the heart,” they were one of the first sake breweries to use the “morohaku” method of brewing entirely with polished rice. They continue to make sake in line with their vision that is clean and clear in flavor.
