"THE JAPANESE BEER - Japanese beer to pair with Japanese cuisine -"

Kagoya Akimoto Shoten Co., Ltd.

We carefully draw out the vitality of the ingredients and apply traditional Japanese techniques to create a "glossy and deep beer,” based on the concept of "THE JAPANESE BEER - Japanese beer to pair with Japanese cuisine." The first sip is inviting. The second sip and the second cups are even more delicious. We brew "beer that tastes even better the more you drink it" that will leave a lasting impact when paired with meals. Every day, we pursue the ultimate deliciousness by handcrafting beer with attention to detail as the beers are brewed in a small facility.
We especially care about the beer brewed in Japan's only wooden tub brewing. In recent years, beer brewing has achieved stable quality by adding yeast to a closed stainless steel tank and fermenting it with a single microorganism. Meanwhile, since ancient times, wooden tubs have been used in traditional Japanese brewing. The wooden tub breathes, and the inhabiting microorganisms take time to ferment. We are brewing beer with a lively life by preparing the environment where microorganisms work.

The willingness to change and take the time to deliver the utmost delicious flavors.

EITARO Sohonpo Co., ltd

Japanese sweets do not use fats and oils or extra additives. It uses crops such as rice and azuki beans that have existed in Japan for centuries. We are particular about the ingredients as it significantly affects the flavors. The main ingredients of Eitaro candies are sugar and syrup. The syrup is a custom-made product made from domestic sweet potatoes. We use the rare "Erimo azuki beans" from Hokkaido for the kintsuba in which anko, the azuki bean paste, is the most critical factor.
In 2015, we also took a bold move to change the glutinous rice used in our Daifuku. We have switched to "Mangetsu mochi" produced by "Okagesama Farm" in Chiba Prefecture, which is committed to cultivating rice without pesticides and chemicals, using organic fertilizers. Mangetsu mochi is a traditional variety that is also dedicated to Ise Jingu Shrine, which allows us to make Daifuku that has been loved by the people of Edo characterized by the palatable texture of the rice cake, which can be easily bitten off without being sticky. We spare no effort with the pounding, although adjusting the hardness and elasticity requires skill.

Combining traditional design, abundant design know-how, and the latest technology

Azone Co.,Ltd.

We carry out everything from planning to design and design. We strive to deliver better products to our customers daily by accumulating know-how such as assembly technology and design that is easy to incorporate and difficult to remove. The evolution of laser cutting technology has enabled creating fine and elaborate expressions and bent curves that seem difficult to express with wood at first glance. The reproducible construction structure parts are elaborately expressed as much as possible, not to mention the details in ki-gu-mi's building-related items. You can experience feeling like a palace carpenter while creating it.
The wa-gu-mi was born inspired by the Edo Komon, which looks plain from a distance but shows intricate patterns designed in a "chic" way when looking up close. It looks like a simple and modern craft product at first glance, made possible by finely expressing the traditional pattern on the surface of the bamboo material by laser cutting. However, this item allows you to feel the meaning of the classical pattern from the visual and tactile senses when you hold and assemble it yourself. The wa-gu-mi gift box is designed with the calculated amount of light from Edo Kiriko as a clue, allowing you to enjoy the scenery of light and shadow after completing it.

However, the finished product is fragrant, plump, and worth the extra step. We visit the producers of the raw materials and form trust with them. We use their ingredients to make our products reflecting and respecting their passion.
We know that we processors cannot make anything without the producers. The producers are vital to us. In this era, raw materials can be procured by calling a phone number or ordering online.

Dyeing that takes motifs from nature

KAMAWANU Co., Ltd.

The “Chusen” dyeing technique pours dye onto cloth so that it is seeped all the way through. It is Japan’s unique technique, established and spread in the Meiji Period. Since each strand of cotton is dyed all the way through, the finished cloth does not harden, achieving excellent absorbency and quick-drying property. The resulting patterns have no front or back, making the cloth reversible.
It is a perfect dyeing technique for Tenugui. This technique is a manual process, handled by craftsmen. Weather and humidity in the air affects the finish. Years of experience allow craftsmen to adjust dyes and the thickness of starchy paste according to the day’s temperature and weather. The result is an individually unique pieces of cloth, presenting a look and feel that could only be achieved with delicate craftsmanship in harmony with nature. The longer you use Tenugui, the softer its texture becomes, and the more settled all the dyed colors start to look. Similarly to denim, Tenugui can be molded into your lifestyle.
