Kawatsuru Brewery
Known for its rice-driven style with elegant, rich texture, Kawatsuru pays respect to the crane that symbolizes longevity and good fortune.
- Kawatsuru, located in the Sanuki region of Kagawa, is committed to experimenting with local raw materials to elevate their sake, including an experimental rice field adjacent to the brewery and using local Sanuki olive yeast.
- The name of the sake was named Kawatsuru by the first kuramoto because the cranes fell down on the clear stream behind the brewery, which is filled with the pure and abundant water flowing.
