Hamachi Shuzo, a sake brewery established in 1870, produces sake using Itoshima-grown rice (Yamada Nishiki) and subterranean water from Mount Raizan, and also produced Fukuoka’s first microbrewery beer, Suginoya, in 1996. Every February, the brewery holds its annual brewery opening. Freshly squeezed sake, which is not heated, and pilsner, which is brewed only with the first pressing of Itoshima-grown barley, are available only at the brewery opening. Bagels and buns made from sake lees are also popular.
