The number of stores selling the ale beer "Kagawa KAGUA" based on the concept of "beer that shines on the Japanese table" has been expanded, and sales will begin at the Takashimaya Yokohama store and Seibu Ikebukuro main store.


Kaiwa is the core brand of Japanese craft beer released in March 2012. It uses yuzu and Japanese pepper, and is said to be brewed at a Belgian consignment brewery. There are two types in the lineup: "Blanc", which is a light-colored top-fermented wheat, and "Rouge", which is a dark-colored top-fermented roasted malt.

This time, in addition to the Matsuya Ginza and Sogo Kobe stores that have been sold so far, sales will begin at the Takashimaya Yokohama store from November 20th and at the Seibu Ikebukuro main store from December 6th. Furthermore, tasting sales will be held at each store from November 22nd to the end of the year.
