This mokkiri beauty is Ms. Chihiro Nagaoka, who is working at the saloon named “Polku” which is located near Takashimizu brewery. “Since my family home is a shrine, I have been really familiar with sake since I was small, and that’s why even though I live separately with my parents, I feel anxious unless sake is in my house. Takashimizu brewery is neighborhood of my workplace; therefore, I patronize this brand” she said.

Thank you very much for your patronage!
