Japanese Sake Brewery Hakutsuru. This is how handcrafted sake is made in a Japanese sake factory. If you are interested in how to make sake, especially handcrafted sake, this video details the full sake production in Japan. Today, there are 1550 sake breweries in Nadagogo Kobe Japan accounting for more than one quarter of Japan’s total sake production. And the Hakutsuru brewery, founded in 1743, is the top sake producer in the area with 100 hard working brewers crafting sake loved not only in Japan but all throughout the world. The Japanese sake brewery is probably most known for Maru, the everyday Japanese man’s daily sake marked with it’s signature white crane and red label produced throughout the year, but today I’m taking you on a different path, produced only in the winter, You and I are going on a journey to see firsthand how these expert brewers use a traditional method of handcrafting it’s limited production highest grade sake, daiginjo truly earning the title Made in Japan

Fascinating to see the sake-making process! About a year ago, a local sake brewer in my city had a tasting-and-learning session where participants could, for a reasonable price, try the whole lineup of their offerings. It was an amazing experience…but unfortunately I underestimated how much I had drunk and could barely stand up at the end. Anyway, it was a ‘learning’ experience in more ways than one. 😅

Fun fact: Singing to time certain processes was extremely common all around the world prior to clocks and timers becoming ubiquitous. People would sing as they cooked, blacksmiths would sing as they heated metal, etc.
I rarely comment Paolo, but it suddenly dawned on me that your style of narrating harkens back to my childhood when the announcer or narrator would kindly, and gently walk you through a subject or documentary. As an adult, it's a very relaxing style, and I love it! 😁👍✌
I can't even imagine... the hundreds of years of trial an error with temperature, ingredients, and learning to use koji mold for sake it took to perfect this recipe. I'm just amazed.
It is truly impressive how much attention to detail is paid to all the steps in the brewing process. My mind was already blown at the rinsing step; little did I know that was only the beginning. Great video as always Paolo!

Yes, that was very intricate process. And you see it takes More than one month to be ready.
Geez, I thought Wagyu was coddled. These rice grains are living the good life.
"back in the day, brewers would sing to time the process" that fact is as heartwarming as it is adorable! kinda helps me imagine all the love being put into making the sake straight from the first step. handmade sake really is something else. there are so many other cool and innovative things happening here! the table also being a scale to measure water content as the rice ferments, using locally sourced mineral water, filtering the sake in bags manually... it's just a treasure trove of information and sake mastery! thank you so much as always for your incredible videos, paolo!

Another banger!

My wife and I actually visited their museum in March of 2020 it was very interesting place to visit.
So cool! I visited the Hakutsuru Brewery in Kobe in 2018 🙂 The museum they have is really cool and you can taste test different Sake there aswell. Also, the Sake ice cream was really delicious. The souvenir t-shirt I bought is one of my favourite to wear 🙂
The collaborative and focused "choreography" by a sizable community of participants aiming for perfection makes the sake quintessentially Japanese!
Amazing
the process was sensitive and they still accommodate you filming inside. Japanese are really nice people
Boy that looks like such a tedious process but it's clear the end results are totally worth it!
Fascinating! So much more complicated than I imagined. And so many people were involved--this sake must be expensive to make.
Unbelievable cleanliness...👍💯
According to the website, a bottle of the sake is 11,000 yen (80$ USD). I would expect to pay so much more given the painstaking and handcrafted process!! Awesome Japan!
