Seizaemon Takeda started brewing in Kamiko Funatsu, a small fishing boat moorage, at the end of the Edo Period (1866). In 1990, Shigenori Takeda was appointed the current director and he is now joined by his son Haruki. They have only two other brewery workers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKikkawa Jozo (Kanagawa)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFounded in 1912, Kikkawa Jozo started out making rich and dry style sakes. The seventh generation chief brewer Masanori Mizuno Toji took over in 2012 changing its focus to delicate, complex, and ginjo in style sakes. At the same time, he’s using ancient acid production techniques, very cold fermentation, and uses very low-polished rice, resulting in unique acidity, and brothy flavors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT:\u003c\/strong\u003e Namazake Paul Launch Party w.
