Kinoshita Brewing Company, founded in 1842, produces bold, adventurous Tamagawa sakes under the direction of Toji Philip Harper. Among them are sakes made with minimum human intervention using ambient yeasts that inhabit the brewery. Some are hardy enough to push the alcohol content up to a stratospheric 22%. Join us to tour and taste with Toji Philip Harper.

The Yoshida family has made sake in Yamashina village since 1870, and today their Tedorigawa label is a favorite with sake enthusiasts in Japan and overseas (thanks in part to the hit movie “The Birth of Sake” which was filmed at their brewery). Tedorigawa sakes are big on flavor, but never heavy or dense. Their innovative yamahai sakes, attuned to the local terroir, are uniquely appealing.
