Tohoku Meijo was founded in 1893 at Jurizuka in Sakata, on the Shonai plain of Yamagata, and brews under the Hatsumago name. Its defining commitment is that its entire output is made by the kimoto method, the labour-intensive traditional starter in which lactic acid develops naturally rather than being added. The company works under the motto "power comes from inside".
