Nami no Oto Brewing : Background
Nami no Oto Brewing is a brewery located in Minami-Awaji, on the island of Awaji, which is south of Kobe, and is in Hyogo prefecture. The brewery opened in June 2023, and since then, has operated an on-site taproom attached to the brewery on the weekends only.
The head brewer, Kono Mitsuaki, initially studied agriculture for a total of six years, including graduate school, before finally hitting the craft beer brewing industry with Kotobuki Brewery (Kuninocho Beer) in Takatsuki City, Osaka, where he spend five years making sake and craft beer. Here, he got the idea of there being a way to make better use of agricultural produce. Having originally studied agriculture, he also wanted to value connections with farmers and producers.
Awaji Island was chosen as it was once called the land of food, Awaji Island is a veritable treasure trove of food, with a wide variety of agricultural products still grown there today, as well as thriving fishing and livestock farming industries. Awaji is famous for fruits such as Naruto oranges, strawberries, and peaches, as well as onions, cheese made from Awaji Island milk, sea bream, whitebait, and farmed flounder.
