Aiming to transmit a new sake culture from Tokyo and Asakusa! This brew-restaurant turned to making the first Doburoku in Asakusa, Tokyo.

Having acquired the brewing license in June 8^th , Konohanano Sake Brewery kicked off thir production in house OF their first Doburoku, that’s is speed! First release is planned for mid-July.

The existing restaurant premises have been adapted and made space to welcome new brewery machinery to brew home styles brews and other future liquors.

Konohanano brewery will thew first in the area producing Doburoku and commercialising it in Asakusa district within the Taito ward, Tokyo. The name of the brewery means a beautiful princess in Japanese, and they got it from Konohanano Sakuyabime, the goddess of sake brewing in Taito ward, Tokyo.

The name of the standard Doburoku brand will have the name of “Hanaguri” and has been chosen by Konohanano because it wants people to enjoy the feeling of happiness as if you were going through the cherry blossoms that were blooming by Princess Kayano Kaiya.

The biggest feature of the brewery lies with their own koji room. This is a unique attempt for a Doburoku brewery in Tokyo. By making their own koji, which is very important in the process of brewing sake as you can achieve a variety of flavours.
With the recent home-sake (doburoku) brewing boom flourishing within the young generations, the number of young brewers is increasing nationwide, but the hurdle to independently brew is extremely high.

The current brewing manager is scheduled to become independent in 2021, and the next brewing manager candidate is being recruited at any time.

They established the brewery with the hope that it could also function as a place for young people who want to make sake all over the country and have a brewery reference to help the community of young brewers.
