Kamihei Brewery is in Tōno, Iwate, a town known for its mysterious folk stories. In 2016, master brewer Sasaki Katsunori started making sake. During that time, he won the Kura Master Platinum Award, the US Sake Tasting Competition Gold Award, and the IWC International Wine Challenge Silver Award. Finally, in 2020, he won an award at the National New Sake Tasting Competition and the IWC International Wine Challenge Trophy Award. The "Tōno Komachi Series" is sake made using ingredients from Iwate Prefecture.
Kamihei Brewery began producing sake rice in 2020 in collaboration with contracted farmers, aiming to make authentic Tōno sake by taking advantage of the region's naturally rich climate. Since 2022, Kamihei has been cultivating "Yui no Ka", "Miyamanishiki", "Ginginga", and "Kame no O" rice varieties.
