We completed the Showagura Brewery, a two-storied structure made of ferro-concrete and air-conditioned, which was highly unusual for the time. It was at this brewery, on January 21, 1928, that we brewed the sake used for the Emperor Showa's enthronement rites, letting it mature until autumn before presenting it at the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
The biggest feature of this brewery is that the air-conditioning allowed us to manage the interior temperature. We imported air conditioners made by York, in the United States. At a time when there were only one or two air conditioners anywhere in Japan, we imported ones made by the American company York, and installed air-conditioning ducts in our second-floor fermenting chamber. In the middle of the brewery, we installed a freight elevator made by the German company Schmitt to carry large containers and others. This sake brewery, which was built at the start of the Showa period, is still used to make winter-brewed sake to this day.
