KID Junmai-Ginjo
A fruit-led KID core, balanced by fine acidity and a clean finish.
The accessible centre of the range
KID Junmai-Ginjo combines Yamada Nishiki and Gohyakumangoku with a Kyokai No. 9 yeast lineage and soft Koyasan-area water. It is the core Junmai-Ginjo expression of the KID range.
How it tastes
Green apple, pear and white-flower notes lead into a balanced texture. Fine acidity keeps the fruit and rice character clear through the finish.
The fruit’s lightness and the acidity’s crisp edge give this sake its structure.
Serve chilled in a white-wine glass.
From Wakayama to international acclaim
Founded in 1928 in Kainan, Wakayama, Heiwa Shuzo uses soft water from the Koyasan area to shape the refined texture of its sake.
At IWC 2019, Heiwa Shuzo won four Gold, three Silver and two Bronze medals and was named Sake Brewer of the Year. It retained the title in 2020, when Muryozan Junmai-Ginjo was also crowned Champion Sake. The brewery returned to the award’s shortlist in both 2025 and 2026.
Launched in 2008, KID brings an open, food-ready expression to the table, while Muryozan is a more focused premium line rooted in the brewery’s history. Together, they range from lightness and ease to quiet depth.
