With the goal to create the new standard for next generation Sake in Japan, Heiwa Shuzo brings us "kid" Junmai, which exhibits a soft mouth feel and offers an acidity that is well balanced with the gentle umami of sake rice. Brewed using the soft and clean spring water of Wakayama Prefecture, "kid" Junmai opens the door for sake beginners. 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 sakes 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. |
