Summary
Produces the 'Kagua' and 'Far Yeast' lines, brilliantly incorporating traditional ingredients like yuzu and sansho pepper.
A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.
Tally’s Take
Yuzu and sansho pepper used as brewing ingredients rather than gimmicks. Kagua works because the restraint is doing the work, not the novelty.

Beers
Kagua Blanc
Year-RoundBelgian Strong Ale
Yuzu peel and sansho pepper in a Belgian-style ale, presented and priced like wine. Kagua was built deliberately for export — a Japanese beer designed to be taken seriously abroad.
