⑦ Kamegamori Brewery (Hanamaki City)

More than 90% of the grapes and apples used as raw materials are grown by ourselves. No herbicides or chemical fertilizers are used, and the grapes are harvested from fields where the soil is made with compost.The grapes are used with their skins on, and the juice is 99% without supplementary sugar or acid. We avoid wasting raw materials and prepare the parts of the fruit that have the richest flavor and aroma, so you can enjoy a fresher aroma. Both wine and cider are bottled without using a filter, only by straining, so active yeast and fruit dregs settle out.

In the spring of 2021, we will open a brewery equipped with 11 large and small brewing tanks. Four types of original wine will be released in spring 2022.
