The Story of 熊本県酒造研究所

Established in 1909 to raise the quality of Kumamoto's sake, this research brewery brought in Kinichi Nojiro as its first chief engineer in 1919. In 1968, the yeast native to its own kura was distributed nationwide as Kyokai (Brewing Society) No. 9 yeast, now used by breweries across Japan. Its flagship brand, Kohro, was trademarked in 1920.
