Since 1887 — 呉市, Hiroshima
A two-brother kura by a firefly-lit stream in Kure, rebuilt after a 1945 typhoon destroyed seven of its buildings.
Morikawa Shuzo has brewed since 1887 at the eastern foot of Mt. Noro in Kure, Hiroshima, beside the clear waters of the Noro River where fireflies gather in season. Seventh-generation head Tomonori Morikawa and his younger brother, toji Motoharu, run the small kura together, carrying forward the soft-water brewing method of the Hiroshima toji tradition. The 1945 Makurazaki typhoon destroyed seven of the brewery's buildings, yet brewing continued through the rebuilding that followed. Brewery tours are not offered, but tastings and direct sales are available at the shop.
