“Kawa” means river, and “tsuru” means crane. Kawatsuru Brewing Company, founded in 1891, was named after a crane landed in the Saita River, a clear stream with abundant and clean water that flows behind the brewery. Their slogan is “Inspiring people with a heart as honest as a flowing river,” and we think the sixth president and brewmaster Yuichiro Kawahito’s smile says it all. His impressive resume includes graduating from Tokyo University of Agriculture, where he majored in fermentation science, and working at what is now the National Research Institute for Brewing, before returning to take over the family business.
