TAMAGAWA · Kinoshita Brewery · Kyoto
Kinoshita Brewery was founded in 1842 in Kumihama, Kyotango, Kyoto. The name TAMAGAWA comes from the Kawakamidani River that flows near the brewery.
Toji Philip Harper earned his Nanbu Toji certification in 2001 and joined Kinoshita Brewery in 2007. Working with traditional methods such as yamahai, no added yeast and aged styles, he values how the sake’s expression changes with temperature and time.
