Founded in 1879 in Katagami, Akita, northwest of Japan. Kodama Sake Brewery is known for its sake brands, Taiheizan 太平山, named after an auspicious mountain in Akita and Tenko 天巧, the completely hand-made artisan Junmai Daiginjo (pure rice super premium) sake series.
The brewery’s history goes back into the Meiji period as a producer of soy sauce and miso known under the brand name Yamakiu 犯凡哆敦 which is familiar to the local people of Akita.
