The Brewery: Kizakura is the name of a rare variety of “Satozakura” cherry tree that produces yellow double-petaled blossoms. The petals bloom slightly later than the pink, single-petal “Yoshino cherry”. Kizakura was originally adopted as the name of our corporate brand by the company’s founder, who loved the unique ambience of this rare yellow cherry blossom.
Kizakura Brewery, founded in 1925, started making beer in 1995. It is one of the first craft beer brewers in Japan, and rare that it is renowned for both beer and sake. (E-Corp only carries the beer) Kizakura sake and beer is made from highly select rice and springwater named “Fushimizu” obtained in “Fushimi” area, southern part of Kyoto city. This water is medium hard water that is one of the most suitable for brewing sake, and the key element that sets apart the renowned Kyoto sake from the rest. “Fushimizu” makes the character of Kizakura sake mild and smooth. We recommend this authentic sake for both Sake lovers and Sake beginners. We would like to make all of the people who drink Kizakura happier.
E-Corp highly recommends visiting this brewery on your next trip to Kyoto. They have a great sake museum at their brewery.
