Tago Brewery Company is a craft beer brewery located in Okayama, Japan. Originally founded over 300 years ago under the name of Tako Honke Sake Brewery, like many other beer breweries in Japan, Tago Brewery Company started life out as a sake brewery before branching out in 1996 to encompass brewing beer. Their beers are sold under the Tsuyama Itsuha Draft Beer range, with various labels though the “limited edition” beers are just their regular beers packaged with the special labels. Moreover, like the sake that is produced on site, the Tsuyama Itsuha Draft Beer range also uses spring water from the local area.
