New standard for next generation sake

This junmai new daiginjo bursts with notes of white flowers, juicy guava and bright aloe acidity. It offers the perfect balance of sweetness with a smidget of adult “shibumi” (astringency) and a citrusy aftertaste. Would you have guessed this came from the brewing team with one of the youngest average ages? They also won Brewer of the Year at the 2019 and 2020 International Wine Challenge.

Heiwa Brewing Company

A sake-loving gentleman married into the Yamamoto family and established the brewery in 1928, on what was originally temple grounds. After the hiatus during World War II, the company was renamed Heiwa, meaning peace and harmony. When the current fourth-generation owner, Norimasa Yamamoto, came back from working in Tokyo in 2004, he switched the brewery’s focus from mass-produced sake to carefully made premium sake. The “KID” line is intended to express the local nature, including their pristine water. And yes, they want to nurture both their sake and young talents as one would nurture one’s own kid.
