Founded in 1877, Kokken Brewery is nestled in Minamiaizu, an area renowned for its heavy snowfall and pristine old-growth forests. The brewery draws soft, pure well water from this rich natural environment to craft its sake. Despite its small scale, Kokken Brewery is dedicated to meticulous craftsmanship, producing only premium-grade sake. In recent years, it has earned the prestigious Gold Award at the National New Sake Competition for 12 consecutive years.
