Japan's first craft mead brewery opens at ANTELOPE in Yasu
Eleven production tanks were installed on the site of a former bakery. Mead is an alcoholic beverage made with honey, water, and yeast, and craft mead is made by adding various fruits, spices, and other secondary ingredients, or by incorporating beer techniques. The possibilities are endless, and "This is interesting!" was the impetus for starting the company.
I visited a world-class craft beer festival and was shocked by the mead I happened to drink. I wanted to promote mead that was not available in the Japanese market. The company's vision is "to create a fantastic connection through alcohol. We want it not only to taste good, but also to connect people with each other," says brewer Tanizawa.
They poured us their signature mead, "What Churchill Said". Inspired by gin and tonic, the mead is smooth, sweet, and quite drinkable, like a cocktail made with micro-fizzy wine.
The variety of tastes makes it attractive for people to choose according to the occasion, such as during or after a meal at a restaurant, camping, or outdoor events. We are looking forward to Tanizawa's next ideas," he says, "and hope to provide many opportunities for people to connect with each other, such as through independent events.
