Heiwa Shuzō (Peace Brewery) has prewar roots but made a re-start after the war. Like a true Wakayama brewery, it produces both sake and plum sake. Recently the brewery has attracted nationwide attention because of the new junmaishu line of Kido and the luxurious plum liquor and other fruit liquors series called Tsuru-ume.

This type of liquor is well know as Yuzu sake but it can’t be named as sake because you can never add fruits after or during the fermentation. So that’s why we call it Yuzu liquor.

One of the biggest sake importers worked together with this brewery to make the perfect well balanced yuzu liquor instead of only using juice of the yuzu, they also added some pulpe of the yuzu. That reflects in more bitterness against the sourness of the Yuzu and with the light amount of added sugar it will give you a lot of pleasure for any time of the day.
