Collaboration Revolutionizes Sake Brewing

Kikupurandou, a company specializing in designing and manufacturing brewing equipment, has entered into a partnership with Ratoc System, known for developing IoT devices and systems. This collaboration aims to leverage advanced technology in sake brewing to improve efficiency and quality.

Importance of Temperature Control in Sake Brewing

Temperature regulation of the mash (moromi) is crucial in traditional sake brewing, as it significantly affects the quality of the final product. Historically, this management has relied on the experience and intuition of the toji (master brewer) and kurabito (brewery workers), involving labor-intensive checks and adjustments made throughout the brewing process. However, maintaining optimal temperature conditions has become a major challenge, especially for smaller breweries that face both physical and mental strains due to round-the-clock monitoring.

Integrating Technology for Efficiency

To address these challenges, the collaboration between Kikupurandou and Ratoc System combines Kikupurandou’s innovative temperature control technology with Ratoc's cloud-based management system. The result is a comprehensive solution that ensures stable temperature control and remote management of the moromi. Their system allows real-time monitoring and adjustment via smartphones, thereby reducing the need for constant onsite checks and creating a more sustainable working environment.
