About "KAGUA"
This beer (*1) was brewed by a Belgian brewer based on an original recipe designed by Nippon Craft Beer. Starting from the idea of "making a beer that complements the Japanese dining table enjoyable for people all over the world," it was created after a four-year planning period and 14 prototypes. It uses yuzu and sansho pepper, two herbs that are symbolic of Japan, and its main feature is its "delicious fragrance that complements the Japanese dining table." There are two varieties in the lineup: "Blanc," a light-colored, top-fermented beer made with wheat, and "Rouge," a dark-colored, top-fermented beer made with roasted malt. Just like white and red wine, they can be enjoyed by pairing them with food.Since its launch on March 24, 2012, the beer has resonated with many people for its meticulous taste, quality, and design, as well as its concept of being "a beer that complements the Japanese dining table," and is now sold in over 170 establishments nationwide, including Japanese restaurants such as Ginza Toyoda, which has been awarded two stars in the Michelin Guide, and the internationally acclaimed luxury inn Gora Kadan. Sales also began in Hong Kong and Singapore in September 2012, and the beer is also sold in first-class hotels such as The Peninsula Hong Kong and InterContinental Hong Kong.
Retail sales are limited to limited-quantity online pre-orders, which are held irregularly, and at Matsuya Ginza.
(※1) "KAGUA" is classified as a happoshu (low-malt beer) under Japan's liquor tax law.
