Situated in the town of Taki in Mie Prefecture, Kawabu Brewery is surrounded with lush greenery along the Kushida River, which bears deep ties Yamatohime-no-mikoto, the legendary ancestor of the Saiku palace complex. We draw water from the underwater streams of Miya River system, recognized by the Japanese government as the finest water in Japan, and craft our unique proprietary “Yuminariho” sake rice, to create sake that embodies "beauty" and "taste."
We want people worldwide to savor the beauty of sake. And, with this in mind, we continue to refine techniques in crafting sakes that, with each sip, will flourish in beauty from within. A sake in harmony with the beauty and the endeavors of people of the world.
Sake is a distillation of history, technique, and the desire for beauty.
Sake that is a product of our deeply seeded desires and endeavors
The sake crafted on philosophy will be dressed in a new beauty each time you take a sip. A serenity washes over you and purifies you as you exist in that moment, bringing you a “beautiful” sake that only you have witnessed.
We urge you to take a sip of our continuously evolving traditions and "beauty" and see for yourself.
