Heiwa “Tsuruume” Kanjuku
Wakayama prefecture
Worthy of a crest
The name “Tsuruume” comes from combining Heiwa’s traditional brand, Wakatsuru (with “tsuru” meaning crane), and Wakayama’s exemplary fruit, ume. Not only that, Tsuruume is expressed as a family crest on the label, symbolizing their promise to use only natural acidity, umami and sweetness without any preservatives. “Kanjuku” means completely ripe, and this juicy, tart and sweet staple can’t wait to get in your repertoire.

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.
