Sake making experience / Fukui Prefecture -Arigato Project 2016 began-

The project of making sake from the scratch, “Arigato Project” of this year just started. The participants start making sake by planting rice and they take one year to finish making the sake.

The project has been established since May of 2013 by authorized dealers of Kokuryu, “Yushino Kai” as main members cooperated with Juridical Agricultural Union and Kokuryu brewery.

 

In one year, through the experience of making sake, the participants learn about sake and the charms of Japan and Fukui.

 

 

After one year, the sake, “Arigato Sake” (officinal name is “Kokuryu Adoso”) made from the rice they planted will be completed and ready to be given to the people that they would like to thank to.

 

Participants are from ages of 20 to 30 who live in Fukui Prefecture.

 

One of the purposes of this project is to let young people know about “good sake”. According to a staff at Kokuryu brewery The sake which people have for the first time in their lives can influence their perspective and/or image of sake throughout their lives.

 

I hope that the participants will know the “good sake” and have good times with their family and/or friends.
