Nekka

Nekka is an innovative brewery in Tadami Town, Fukushima, located in a northern landscape embraced by UNESCO Eco-Park registered beech forests, redefining the boundaries between sake and rice shochu.
Using 100% Tadami-grown rice cultivated by themselves and pure snowmelt water nurtured by the beech forest, their greatest challenge is the unique "Ryushu Project," where sake and shochu are created from a single mash. Sake collected through "Fukuro-shibori" (bag hanging)—dripped only by their own weight without pressure—features a supreme transparency free of impurities and a brilliant ginjo aroma played by their own "Nekka Yeast." Furthermore, they were early to obtain "Vegan Certification" from VegProject Japan, embodying global standards of quality, ethics, and deep respect for Tadami's natural environment.
As the first in Japan to obtain an "Export-only Sake Brewing License," their stance of challenging the world from a small distillery brings a new breeze to the future of sake while respecting tradition.
