Koikawa Brewery, founded in 1725, is located in Amarume, Yamagata Prefecture, in the Shonai Plain of Yamagata Prefecture, surrounded by rice paddies. The region is the birthplace of Kame-no-o rice, said to be the root of Koshihikari, Sasanishiki, Akita Komachi, Hitomebore, Tsuyahime and other famous rice varieties well-known amongst sake lovers. In this blessed environment, the brewery uses the rice produced by the brewers and the brewery's underground water to create a true jizake. The brewery shifted to an all-junmai brewery in 2015.
