Our company is participating in the "Local Natural Energy Sake for SDGs Project" because we share the values that the "Local Design Council for Natural Energy and Environment" (Secretariat: Kobe Shimbun) aims to achieve. 1Dairy farmers, 3 Yamada -nishiki producers, and 4 breweries have joined forces to launch this "Local Natural Energy Sake for SDGs Project" regards the enormous amount of food residues, substandard agricultural products, and other organic waste generated daily by people's "eating" activities as a mass of energy, and utilizes digested liquid (organic fertilizer), a byproduct of biogas extracted by fermenting "garbage" that has been disposed of by burning or other means.
The digested liquid is used as an organic fertilizer at Yuge Farm (Kita-ku, Kobe), which is involved in the biogas business, to grow Yamada-nishiki and brew a resource-recycling pure rice sake, "Local Natural Energy Sake: Meguru", using the most natural methods possible.
