FUKUCHO | Founded in 1868, the Imada Shuzō Brewery warehouse is located in Akitsu facing the Mitsu Bay renowned for one of the cleanest waters in Seto Inland Sea (Hiroshima Prefecture). The climate of Akitsu, blessed with a calm sea and a warm climate, has created the flavor of Fukunaga over many years. It is also the town of Hiroshima chief brewers.
Since 1994, Miho Imada, the eldest daughter, has been running the brewery. She revives the cultivation of the indigenous variety Hattangusa (Hiroshima’s oldest native variety of sake rice, which was revived from seeds and grown with reduced pesticides and fertilizers) and pursues sake brewing that combines tradition and innovation, including the development of sake brewing using white koji. In 2020, she was selected as the only Japanese person to be selected by the BBC as one of the 100 women who have influenced the world.
