Although it was undamaged by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the brewery was threatened by the subsequent nuclear disaster at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, located approximately 130 km from the brewery. Subsequent tests confirmed no radiation had entered its centuries-old source wells.[1]
