The Future of Japan
In recent years, under the banner of regional revitalization, product development utilizing various local resources has been actively pursued. However, these resources are not limited to raw materials alone. Wakayama Brewery views young people, who will play a crucial role in Japan's future, as valuable regional assets as well. By offering students opportunities to experience firsthand how their daily research activities can be applied and valued in real-world markets, the brewery aims to deepen their understanding of the significance of their work and help them recognize its importance.
Wakayama Brewery considers its role as a local enterprise to be that of supporting diligent students in finding meaning and joy in their research, ultimately contributing to the revitalization of Japan. The company regards this mission as a vital tool in regional development. It is firmly convinced that craft beer can only become a true “product” if it is cherished and fostered by the local community.
To achieve these goals, the promotion of sixth industrialization is deemed essential. Looking ahead, the brewery plans to expand its business beyond the Japanese market into global markets. Its vision goes beyond merely selling products—it seeks to create new markets by leveraging the rich regional backgrounds that define its offerings.
