Product details
Inaba Shuzo, a Ibaraki Sake brewery found at the foot of Mt. Tsukuba, founded in the late Edo period (1867), has been using natural spring water from Mt. Tsukuba.
In 1999, Nobuko Inaba, the 6th generation of the brewery, resumed Sake brewing business in facing closure despite strong opposition from her father and relatives. Since brewing Sake has been dominated by male for a long time, there were few female brew masters in Japan. Nobuko had faced challenges including gender bias. She said “Hearing people laughing at me saying ‘No Women can make Sake.’ did not stop me making one. I know I can do it.”
