Tally's Take
Why this matters
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.
