points of distinction
- Made with yeast Cel-24, this yeast was created in collaboration with other Kochi breweries
- Two different kinds of rice are used, Hatannishiki from Hiroshima, across the bay, and Matsuyama Me, from nearby Ehime prefecture
- Unpasteurized and undiluted (Namazake Genshu) but sold year-round unlike most namazakes which are seasonal
