The head stated, "In our over 200 years of history, the environment surrounding sake has changed considerably. I believe the role required of sake breweries is also changing amidst drastic environmental shifts, including the recent population decline in Japan, changes in lifestyles, and the increase in inbound tourists. Until now, we have diligently adhered to our family motto of 'Brew with care, sell with care,' but from now on, it is necessary to 'convey the culture and stories behind it with care.' The name of the new facility, '&KASEN,' embodies the desire to connect people with people, and people with new discoveries, through the meticulously crafted architecture, garden, food, and service, using '&' to bring them together and realize them alongside Kasen. While building upon the spirit of our brewers passed down through generations, we want to create new value that leads to the future and develop this place as a hub for disseminating the new charm of sake unique to this location." ■Restaurant to Enjo
