About the Brewery
Nara, Japan's first international capital, is home to many historic temples and shrines, including the Great Buddha Hall, Kasuga Taisha, and Horyuji, which are world heritage sites. Imanishi Seibee Shoten, which founded a sake brewing business in this area during the Meiji period, named its sake Harushika after Kasuga Taisha Shrine and its sacred animal, the deer. Currently, Harushika is exported not only within Japan but also to more than 10 countries around the world.
Harushika uses highly refined rice as its raw material, and pursues sake with a light, mellow texture, and a gorgeous, crisp flavor. Our unchanging attitude since our founding has been to inherit the tradition of Nanto Morohaku in terms of taste, richness, and aroma. We will continue to cherish the philosophy of ``polishing the rice, polishing the water, polishing the technique, and polishing the spirit,'' and will continue to focus on producing high-quality sake with a focus on dry sake.
