Mr. Naohiko Noguchi

He was a key figure in the revival of the nearly lost yamahai brewing method and has been brewing sake for over 70 years with the desire to "make good sake and make people happy.” The NOGUCHI NAOHIKO SAKE INSTITUTE was established by a man who fell in love with the spirit and skill of Naohiko Noguchi and wanted to preserve his way of life for the future.
