Koimari strives for the best in crafting its sakes, which is why all ingredients used in its production are entirely local. The brewery also emphasizes manual labor, processing rice in small batches. This requires more time and labor but also allows for better control over the production process and reduces damage to the rice. Furthermore, the brewery makes efforts to ensure the well-being of its employees, a rare occurrence in a profession known for being demanding and exhausting.
