This brewery is lead by a brother and sister team. The older sister works as the “toji” or “brew master” and utilizes an ancient style of brewing called “bodaimoto” that Gozenshu was responsible for it’s revival after more than 600 years. Being in Okayama, they strive to use only Okayama rice so by next year their goal is to ONLY use Omachi and only brew with Bodaimoto method.
