Haruka - Acid techno garage mix in Japanese sake brewery (2026)

Posting because I found this such an interesting locale for a liveset, especially as they are producing sake right next to the DJ the entire time, sometimes within inches of her as they run past with materials, and in the background you can watch the start to finish of producing sake (and some great closeups).

From the description:

For over a millennium, the refined clarity of Sake, or Japanese rice wine, has flowed through the heart of Japanese spirituality and social ritual, evolving from a sacred offering for the gods into the drink of choice for many across the country. While its origins are shrouded in ancient grain-mastication myths, it was the refinement of brewing techniques during the Muromachi and Edo periods, specifically the development of the kimoto method, that transformed sake into a sophisticated art form. This labor of culture and love which relies on natural lactic acid bacteria and the rhythmic "ramming" of rice, creates a brew with unmatched depth and structural integrity. Today, sake remains much more than a drink; it is a seasonal anchor, celebrated from the cherry blossom viewings of spring to the warming atsukan carafes of winter, symbolizing a cultural commitment to patience, purity, and technique.

At Daishichi Shuzo (大七酒造), located in the historic brewing grounds of Nihonmatsu, this commitment to the kimoto method is part of a sacred lineage. Since its founding in 1752 by Ota Sanzaemon, the brewery has defied modern shortcuts, standing steadfast by traditional brewing when quicker, industrial methods became the 20th-century norm. Now led by the tenth-generation head, Daishichi has married this unwavering traditionalism with world-class innovation. Whether gracing the tables of G8 Summits and European royal banquets, or the lively dinner tables of locals, Daishichi’s sake continues to carry the weight of history in every drop it brews.

The juxtaposition of the two is just wonderful.

Edit: At 51m she helps them while at the same time twisting knobs and mixing (helping, to keep the sake production from getting on the equipment) This is so cool. The song choice just makes that so much more wonderful.
