The 2023 vintage product, "KAGUA Rouge Special Edition 2023," features the sweet aroma of star anise and a refreshing spice aroma. Shipping begins on Wednesday, February 1st.

Far Yeast Brewing will release a limited edition brew of its fragrant Japanese ale, KAGUA, titled KAGUA Rouge Special Edition 2023, on Wednesday, February 1, 2023.

KAGUA, which was created with the concept of "a fragrant aroma that complements the Japanese dining table," has been enjoyed at high-end Japanese restaurants both in Japan and overseas since its inception, and is our flagship brand that has earned high praise from many beer fans.

Following the release of "KAGUA Blanc Special Edition 2022" in October last year, we are now releasing a limited edition "KAGUA Rouge" product.
Based on the Kagua Rouge, which uses Japanese pepper and yuzu, this brew features a variety of spices, primarily star anise. The aroma is a balanced blend of the spicy sweetness of Japanese pepper and star anise with Belgian-style esters, and the herbal flavors of multiple spices intertwine in a complex way with the sweetness of caramel and malt, resulting in a richer, more intense taste. This vintage brew, with an alcohol content of 9.0%, can be aged for five years.

In Belgium, it is customary to age beer purchased at important milestones in life and enjoy it with friends and family a few years later. This beer is a special one to mark such an anniversary, and we hope you will enjoy the changes in flavor that occur over time as it ages.

The Belgian-style KAGUA is the origin of Far Yeast Brewing. This richer and more satisfying beer is a departure from the currently trendy hop-forward beers, offering a rich and satisfying experience that allows you to savor the mellow aroma of the Belgian style.

The limited edition " KAGUA Rouge Special Edition 2023 " will begin shipping on Wednesday, February 1st, and pre-orders will begin on our online store from 1:00 PM on Tuesday, January 24th.

[About "KAGUA"]
The original recipe (mixture) was conceived based on the concept of "a fragrance that complements the Japanese dining table," and is brewed at a partner brewery in Belgium using yuzu and sansho pepper, herbs that are symbolic of Japan. The lineup includes three varieties: "Blanc," which uses wheat for a gorgeous ester aroma and fresh yuzu , "Rouge," which uses roasted malt for a spicy sansho pepper aroma and a fragrant malt , and "Saison," which has a fresh, fruity aroma. A major feature of these beers is that they can be enjoyed by pairing them with food, just like wine.
Our products are sold in famous and popular restaurants that have been awarded stars in the Michelin Guide, as well as luxury hotels and restaurants overseas .
