OUR BREWING PARTNER
- NIIZAWA
- IN MIYAGI PREFECTURE, NIIZAWA BREWERY STANDS AS A SYMBOL OF RESILIENCE AND RENEWAL. DESTROYED BY THE 2011 EARTHQUAKE, IT WAS REBUILT BY IWAO-SAN WITH UNWAVERING SPIRIT, A REBIRTH THAT REDEFINED ITS LEGACY. TODAY, UNDER THE VISION OF NANAMI WATANABE, WHO BECAME NIIZAWA’S TOJI IN 2018 AT THE AGE OF 22, THEN THE YOUNGEST FEMALE TOJI IN JAPAN, NIIZAWA BLENDS HERITAGE AND INNOVATION. LABEL NOIR CAPTURES THIS HARMONY, A TRIBUTE TO STRENGTH, ELEGANCE, AND THE ART OF ASSEMBLAGE
