The Kayashima Brewery
Kayashima Brewery is one of the rarest of sake producers who maintain the tradition of Kyushu-style Sake. Kyushu has abundant access to fresh white fish and it goes very well with sweet soya sauce. This makes Kyushu-style cuisine sweet, with a deep and complex flavour. Sake from Kayashima Brewery is soft and elegant, rich in Umami and has beautiful sweetness.
