Juicy olive yeast sake, anyone?

Who would have known that Kagawa prefecture is famous for their olive trees? Kawatsuru “Olive” uses yeast isolated from the fruit of the olive. Enjoy this sake bursting with lively, white wine-like acidity, and pair it with anything that excites you; it will gently accompany your meal. The changing climate affects the rice every year, so they make careful adjustments to achieve the taste they desire.

Kawatsuru Brewing Company

“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.
