In order to achieve our mission to “deliver the best beer throughout the world, to as many people as possible”, a full overseas commercial launch will take place in Hong Kong and Singapore in September 2012. The company will sell through the networks of influential local distribution partners. The company will also target Japanese restaurants, taking advantage of the fact that “KAGUA” is the perfect companion to Japanese food.
For the launch of KAGUA in Hong Kong and Singapore market, Mr. Atsushi Hosokawa, owner and chef of Michelin starred restaurant said, “I’m very happy to hear that KAGUA will be entering the Hong Kong and Singapore markets. When I tasted KAGUA for the first time, I fully understood the meaning of Japanese scented beer, the ideal match with Japanese cuisine. Though its use of top quality Yuzu and Sansho, these herbs are not noticeable in taste, but contribute to the richness and complexity of the beer. I’d recommend KAGUA to gourmets in Hong Kong and Singapore. I believe they can really enjoy KAGUA along with the food and I believe KAGUA will be very successful in these markets.”
Shiro Yamada, the CEO of the company, said “It is a distinct honour for me to introduce KAGUA, the premium Japanese scented beer, to everyone in Hong Kong and Singapore. KAGUA is a unique beer in the world and unlike anything currently available in the market. KAGUA uses top-quality, hand-picked Japanese produces, Yuzu and Sansho, and is brewed by a professional brewery in Belgium. I firmly believe people will enjoy the unique and rich taste of KAGUA beer in Hong Kong and Singapore.”
