``Microbrewery'' recommended by brewer Terasawa

Leading “Edo Kajo”Brewer Terasawa is a microbrewery pioneer who is particular about making things small.It is.
Brewer Terasawa came up with this idea from his experience brewing sake in a limited space of only 52 square meters in Odaiba. Despite repeated trial and error in an environment with no chimney or exhaust equipment, we were able to achieve high quality, winning a gold medal.“You can make the real thing even on a small scale.”This led to my conviction.
Mr. Terasawa says, ``The larger the product, the more divided the process becomes, and the more difficult it becomes to control the taste.'' If you are producing in small quantities, you can carefully assess the raw materials and preparation conditions and make adjustments each time, allowing you to get results quickly. In other words, being small allows for both mobility and quality improvement.

On the other hand, he points out that mass production is a system based on the premise of ``cheap and good products,'' and that this direction is difficult to sustain in modern Japan, where the population continues to decline. Mr. Terasawa aims to"Create as much as you need of something truly valuable."Things. By keeping production to around 150 koku and focusing on domestic distribution, we protect the rarity and quality of our brand.
That attitude is“Rather than the convenience of being able to buy something anywhere, I want to value the special feeling of being able to come all the way to Tokyo.”This is also reflected in the idea. Taking advantage of the freedom and responsibility that comes with small-scale brewing, Terasawa Brewer proposes a sustainable and honest form of sake culture through sake brewing that emphasizes quality over quantity.
Tokyo Port Brewing
Chief brewer Yoshimi Terasawa
Yoshimi Terasawa is the chief brewer of Tokyo Port Brewing Company.
We work for a major sake maker in Kyoto and have been involved in sake making for over 40 years.
Formerly the general manager of the Daiba Brewery (now closed) in Daiba, Minato-ku, Terasawa Brewer is a pioneer who laid the foundation for microbrewery and the potential of sake brewing in the city center, winning a gold award at the National New Sake Awards for the sake he brewed in a space of just 52 square meters and with limited equipment.
Mr. Terasawa, who developed the compact sake brewing ``Craft® Kobo,'' has since created a system that allows anyone to make sake, including obtaining a patent for the ``Terasawa style brewing equipment'' that he developed.
Furthermore, in October 2019, we established a new business to support “Craft® Workshop” from consulting to operation and public relations. In 2020, we opened a sake brewery in a space of just 22.8 square meters inside Tokyo Station. We introduced a patented compact koji room and succeeded in producing doburoku, liqueur, and sake (experimental brewing).

Manufacturer
Wakamatsu Co., Ltd./Tokyo Port Brewing Co., Ltd.
Founded in 1812 (Bunka 9th year). In the wake of the recent ``Paper Wholesaler Riot'' in Shinano, Shinshu, the founder moved to Edo and opened a liquor store in Shiba.
After the Sakuradamongai Incident, Wakamatsuya entered its second generation and was recognized as a merchant of the Satsuma clan, who had a mansion nearby, producing sweet potato shochu and turbid sake and storing them in the domain's mansion.
At that time, Wakamatsuya had a back parlor, and it was a place for secret discussions for many important people, and it is said that great figures from history such as Saigo Takamori, Katsu Kaishu, Yamaoka Tesshu, and Takahashi Deishu often visited.
The back parlor of Wakamatsuya was also a secret meeting place for feudal retainers who aimed to open the country and bring about civilization and enlightenment through the bloodless surrender of Edo Castle.
The brand name ``Edo Kajo'' was created to pay homage to the feudal retainers who survived the turmoil at the end of the Edo period.
Eventually, in the Meiji era, due to problems with successors, the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, and changes in the Liquor Tax Law, Wakamatsuya decided to close down its sake brewing business, which had continued for about 100 years, in 1909 (Meiji 42).
After that, Wakamatsu Co., Ltd. changed its business format and has remained firmly rooted in the field until today, but in 2011, the seventh generation president, Shunichi Saito, wanted to revive the sake brewery and pass it on to the next generation, so he established Tokyo Port Brewing Co., Ltd. in 2011.
