The Ishimago brewery was funded by Sir Ishikawa in the middle of the 19th century. At first, it brewed soy sauce. Since its foundation, the traditional brewing methods have been preserved and the production remains hand-made. The brewery only uses made in Japan products, including the wood barrels and the koji buta, the wood recipients used to make koji.
In order to brew soy sauce and produce miso, a hard human work is needed. All the ingredients and finished products are carried several times by the brewers during the making process. It might seem crazy, but the brewery is convinced that to produce living products such as theirs, nothing equals the human eye and touch. The brewery is proud to offer craft-made products that valorize what nature has to offer.
The main and original warehouse of the brewery is registered as national cultural site, as it shows the architectural changes between the Meiji and Taisho eras. The others warehouses are also registered, and the brewery contributes to national heritage preservation.
