About the brewery : Yoshimura Hideo Shoten is located in the town of Iwada, north of Wakayama. Established in 1915, it produced up to 25,000 goku, or 4.5 million bottles per year, and owned several breweries, not only in Wakayama, but also in Hyogo. After the Kobe earthquake in 1995, it stopped production at the other sites and began to produce only at its home location. In 2004, Kura was further reduced in size to focus on quality. Today, they produce only 500 goku, or 90,000 bottles per year.
