The Yazaki Centennial “Shochu” Project

As an activity to commemorate the Yazaki Group’s 75th Anniversary, Yazaki launched the Yazaki Centennial Shochu Project in Saiki City, Oita Prefecture. The project is being done in partnership with Arrow Farm Oita Co., Ltd. and Bungomeijyo Co., Ltd. Over the course of six weekends that ended in March 2016, Yazaki Group employees from around Japan gathered in Saiki to grow rice and then produce rice shochu together with members of the local community. Half of the produced shochu will be matured for 25 years and opened in 2041, when the Yazaki Group will celebrate its 100th anniversary.
