kid Nice color label, summer liquor-like. Coined from a combination of "Kii-no-kuni," the old name of Wakayama, and "land" (dochi) During the chaotic postwar period, sake brewing had to be suspended, but Yasumasa Yamamoto, the second generation brewer, made a petition speech to the Diet and received permission to resume the brewery. The desire at this time to "brew sake in peaceful times" was the origin of the brewery's name, "Heiwa Shuzo" ("Peace Brewery"). At the International Wine Challenge (IWC) in 2020, "Kido Mugyozan Junmai Ginjo" was awarded the top prize in the SAKE category, "Champion Sake". In the same year, it also won the "Sake Brewery of the Year" award, achieving a double crown.

Kinoene Byakya This is my second refill. I talked about how good it was with the person next to me at Asakusa Fashionable. Although I think it tastes better than the usual ones, it has a Koshi-like quality. It tastes like peaches and mangoes. A sense of security like my parents' house. The sake level is undisclosed, about -10. Last year it was -12.4, so there are some likes and dislikes.

Gekka Utashiro (member of a subgroup of the Russian Social Democratic Workers' Party) I drink Gagakuyo because it is often recommended. The location, Kamo Utashiro, means "land in lieu of a poem," and it is said that when an emperor was exiled to Sado, he would read a waka poem and if he liked it, he would receive land as a reward. The current head brewer, Senichi Katoh, became the brewer at the age of 24, and he himself is the toji (master brewer) of the brewery.

It seems that "brewing" is difficult to trademark. The brand "Brewing Forest" was created in 2017 and rebranded on October 1, 2024. It is derived from the landscape of Tsunan Town, a region of heavy snowfall. The name comes from the local scenery called "snow cocoons," as the moisture-rich snow piles up roundly on the stones, looking like cocoon balls.
