Breaking with the production methods of postwar Japan and going against the trend of the time, Oku-san was one of the initial pioneers of \u003cem\u003ejunmaishu\u003c\/em\u003e, sake made without any additives; and in 2009, he achieved the goal of the brewery’s entire production being made that way.
