Producer
Harada
The Hatsumomidi brewery is located in Shunan (Yamaguchi Prefecture) on the Seto Sea. Founded in 1819, during the Edo period, it has been owned by the Harada family for 12 generations. Although it fell on hard times in the 70s, it was admirably reborn in 2003 under the impetus of Yasuhiro Harada as a "Four Seasons Brewery". The idea is to offer customers new, fresh products throughout the year. Annual production volumes are relatively low, in the order of 300 to 340 goku (54 to 62,000 liters). Hatsumomidi uses water from the Shikano spring in Kano, a little further north in the Chugoku mountains. This light, low mineral content water is the source of the famous Nishiki River. For rice, only the Yamada Nishiki and Saito no Shizuku strains grown locally in Yamaguchi are used in production.
