In celebration of International Woman's Day 2025, Sakemama chats with Hinako Iimori. She is the successor of Fukuchiyo Shuzo, the master brewers responsible for our fan-favorite Nabeshima sakes!

How old were you when you decided to begin working in your family saka-gura?

When I was a high school student.

高校生くらいの時からです。


Do you see a growing number of women stepping up to take-over their family’s businesses in Japan?

I think it is increasing. After all, everyone takes their family business seriously.

増えてきてると思います。真剣なのは誰も変わらないと思います。
