About Kido Takagi's Fusion Sake Toji Series #2
Kanako Takagi, who brewed this sake, is from Kita-ku, Tokyo.
She serves as the head brewer at Heiwa Craft, and designed the fusion of beer and sake as her theme.
The original plan was to brew sake with beer yeast, but brewery owner Yamamoto's advice to use beer hops and take advantage of the gassy sensation led to the fusion saké.
The hops and sake mingled together, giving it a pink grapefruit and yogurt nuance,
The color is unexpectedly light pink. Please enjoy it chilled.
Heiwa Shuzo was founded in 1928 and is located just outside Kainan City in Wakayama. The site where the brewery is located was a temple for over 500 years before the brewery was established. It wasn't until 1957 when Sake production commenced full-time. The brewery is located in a valley surrounded by mountains, blessed with high precipitation, resulting in a boundless supply of good quality soft spring water, perfect for brewing Sake.
Their incredibly soft and luscious water, known as Koyasan Nansui, flows down from Koyasan temple, a world heritage site. Heiwa gained massive popularity in Japan and overseas for their “KID” brand of sake. The name “KID” is an abbreviation of combining “kisshu”, the region where Wakayama lies, and “fudo” meaning environment. The name “KID” is also indicative of the sake’s playful, bright and energetic profile. Heiwa won Brewer of the Year at IWC in back to back years (2019 & 2020) a feat never accomplished by any other sake brewery.
