Heiwa Shuzo 'Tsuru-ume Natsu Mikan'

Tsuru-ume Natsu Mikan is a seasonal limited Tsuru-ume. There are many kinds of oranges grown in Wakayama and Heiwa Shuzo uses Natsu Mikan, Amanatsu (both oranges are harvested in summer) and lemon for this sake. Oranges are squeezed with the skin left on – you will enjoy a bitter and zesty flavor in this rich orange sake. Refreshing on a hot day in the summer.

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.
