Brewery: Takizawa Brewing Company, Ltd.
Founded: 1863
Profile: Takizawa Brewing Company was founded in 1863 in Ogawa-machi in Saitama prefecture, and relocated in 1900 to their current location on the Old Nakasendo trading route's Fukaya-juku waypoint. In 2007, Hideyuki Takizawa, the sixth generation head of the brewery, studied the brewing techniques of the previous Toji (master brewer) of the Nanbu Toji school, and became a Toji himself. With the traditions handed down from generation to generation as its foundation, the brewery continues to take on new challenges by incorporating new ideas and technologies.
