\u226aThe Great Hanshin Earthquake and Story Behind the Release\u226b<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe Great Hanshin Earthquake, which struck on January 17, 1995, with a magnitude of 7.3, caused devastating damage across Hyogo Prefecture. The disaster claimed approximately 6,400 lives, left over 40,000 people injured, and led to the widespread destruction of buildings and infrastructure. Kobe Shushinkan Brewery was also severely impacted, with its facilities and equipment destroyed. Amid an uncertain future, the brewery\u2019s ability to rebuild was made possible through unwavering determination and community support. The release of \u201cFUKUJU Memories of Tomorrow,\u201d a sake that survived the shattering disaster, marks this milestone with a reflection on resilience and hope for a brighter future.<\/p>\n
