Eikoh Brewery
Brewery: Eikoh Brewery Co.
Founded: 1897
Founded in 1897 in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, the city known for Dogo Onsen (Hot Springs), Eiko Shuzo has continued their traditional premium-sake making that suits the regional climate, using the renowned natural water from the Wakigafuchi Valley of Takanawa Mountains and a combination of Yamadanishiki rice and local rice named Matsuyama Mii. Eiko Shuzo’s master brewers have passed on from generation to generation their spirit of "raising the sake like your child” and spend as much time and effort to produce superbly tasting sake. Their sake won the Golden Award, the highest honor at the National New Sake Contest in Japan in 1989 and has been awarded several times since then.
