Kawabu Brewery

Kawabu Brewery is located approximately 12.4 miles (20 kilometers) from Ise Grand Shrine (Ise Jingu) which enshrines Japan’s highest-ranking deity. Its Hoko Sugi brand is named after the sacred spear-shaped tree that stands tall and grows with strength in the sanctity of Ise Jingu. The brewery, which was founded in 1857, is now run by its 8th generation owner.
