Mouth-puckering yuzu

With such cute branding, you almost expect this to be sweet, but the initial impact is so mouth-puckering sour, this yuzu sake will get you hooked. Locally grown yuzu juice and skin are all blended, then balanced with a sake base using very soft water, relying only on natural sweetness. It’s great for pairing with firm cheese, sweet and sour pork, and key lime pie.

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.
