- Kawatsuru Sake Brewery was founded in 1891 in Kanonji, Kagawa Prefecture. Behind the brewery flows the clear Sada River. The founder, who dreamed of a crane descending upon its underground waters, named the brewery "Kawatsuru" (River Crane) – the beginning of it all. For over 130 years since, we have continued brewing sake in harmony with this land's climate and soil. The foundation of Kawatsuru's sake brewing lies in "rice, water, and technique." Guided by the belief that sake brewing begins with rice cultivation, our brewers themselves enter the fields, earnestly engaging with the unique character of Kagawa-grown rice. We use the underground water of the Saida River, also known as the "Treasure River," for our brewing water, prioritizing the extraction of the rice's maximum umami above all else. The sake quality we pursue is not flashy, but rather a robust umami that pairs well with food and a pleasant crispness. Rooted in the warm climate of the Seto Inland Sea and the food culture of Sanuki, our sake truly shines on the daily dining table. At the same time, we do not merely preserve tradition; we also embrace challenges suited to the times. We actively explore new ways to enjoy sake, such as our low-alcohol "Sanuki Kuraudi." "Like the flow of a river, we wish to move drinkers with sincerity." Carrying this sentiment passed down from our founding master, we remain wholeheartedly dedicated to our sake today. We hope each cup of Kawatsuru enriches your moments of conversation.

Creamy, sweet-and-sour, and low in alcohol, “Kuraudi” has a taste reminiscent of a lactic acid-based drink, perfectly cutting through the richness of the spicy, juicy bone-in chicken. Savor this ultimate “meat and drink” combination—a source of pride for Kagawa—to your heart’s content.

Kotohiki Korou, a renowned hot spring in Kanonji, is the perfect base for savoring Kawatsuru sake. There’s nothing quite like enjoying a glass of this exceptionally fresh sake—delivered straight from the brewery—paired with fresh local fish from the Seto Inland Sea. After rejuvenating in the open-air baths or the sauna where you can feel the sea breeze, the moment you wash down your flushed body with a chilled glass of Kawatsuru is a blissful privilege reserved exclusively for guests. Staying at the adjacent inn allows you to indulge in fine sake to your heart’s content without worrying about heading home—another major attraction. In this auspicious location near the Zenigata Sand Art, you can enjoy a luxurious adult getaway where you’ll be intoxicated by both the hot springs and Kawatsuru.
