Created in the seventies, COEDO is a craft beer made in Saitama prefecture, and more precisely in Kawagoe, one hour north of Tokyo by train.
The peculiarity of COEDO beers, is that they are made of Japanese sweet potatoes! COEDO was not always in the beer-brewing business, starting instead as an agricultural company specializing in vegetable distribution. Because of the nature of farming, many nonstandardized vegetables were left behind, and the company realized that it could turn some of them into beer.
