Araya Sake Brewing brews Wakamusume in Tokuji, Yamaguchi Prefecture, by a husband and wife team. The husband, Yoshinao Shintani, acts as the Kuramoto (President), and his wife, Bunko, acts as the Toji (Master Brewer), working together to create 'elegant Wakamusume that is gorgeous but one does not get tired of it'.
The couple carefully raises a small amount like their own child, and it is characterized by a gorgeous aroma and an excellent balance of taste. Since sake is a national alcohol, they have a desire to be recognized in the world as Japanese, and have achieved excellent results in sake competitions in Japan and overseas.
The brewery has faced multiple crises in the past, but overcame the retirement of the long-time Toji and damage to the building, and switched to four-season brewing facilities in 2007. Wakamusume has won numerous awards at KURA MASTER (France), IWC (International Wine Challenge in London), and domestic competitions.
