Kodama Brewing Co. Ltd. 小玉醸造株式会社

Taiheizan 太平山

Kodama Brewing Company was founded in 1879 in Akita, northwest of Japan. Good rice, clean mountain water, and expertise make Taiheizan sake its unique quality. The uniqueness of Taiheizan sake is within its deep umami taste with a sharp finish. It is a characteristic of a special brewing method known as the “Akita Kimoto Method,” which was developed and nurtured by brewers in the Kodama Brewery. This Akita version of the traditional pole-rammed kimoto method, tailored for the cold Akita climate, creates a strong moto (yeast starter) to do its magical work before the main fermentation.
