About
The brewery is located in Okabe-cho, which is counted among Japan's three major gyokuro (high-grade green tea) producing regions. The name Hyogetsu comes from a local tea room. It is characterized by a refreshing ginjo aroma reminiscent of white grapes, with a pleasant acidity and a clean, crisp mouthfeel. It pairs beautifully with Japanese cuisine, of course, as well as with modern Western dishes that make the most of the natural flavors of the ingredients.
