You can participate in this project by purchasing Far Yeast beers.

Far Yeast Brewing (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President: Shiro Yamada) started free delivery of bento boxes to Keio University Hospital, Shinjuku, Tokyo beginning Tuesday, April 21st to support frontline medical workers in the fight against COVID-19.

While the new coronavirus continues spreading across the nation, frontline healthcare workers have been facing constant battles, treating patients day and night.

We would like to thank all the health care professionals who are engaged in medical care to protect the lives of new coronavirus patients in environments with severe infection risks. We at Far Yeast Brewing are committed to doing what we can to support them in this difficult task. 

Our company-owned bar “Far Yeast Tokyo Craft Beer & Bao” in Shibuya is currently closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The facility and kitchen staff have shifted daily operations to making nutritionally balanced, delicious lunch and delivering it directly to medical staff.

We started offering lunch boxes to Keio University Hospital on Tuesday, April 21st. The background history of this project is that one of Far Yeast Brewing’s executive staffs graduated from Keio University, and we, as Far Yeast brewing, used to participate in their alumni event “Keio Union Mitakai Convention” in the past. So we had a connection with Keio University, and this time, we proposed this donating bento box project to a pediatrician doctor at Keio University Hospital. The pediatric team kindly enough accepted this project, and we started providing lunchboxes to them.

At the same time, we launched a support project for healthcare workers. We titled it as “Clap for Carers,” and we are seeking supporters who can support the bento donation activities for healthcare workers.  We released product bundling called “Clap for Carers Support,” which is a set of craft beers and branded glassware, and we pledge using a part of sales for supporting this donation activity. We hope that this circle of support for healthcare professionals will spread and grow. And people will strengthen solidarity to overcome this crisis as soon as possible.

Clap for Cares – Healthcare professionals support project. 

You can support healthcare professionals by purchasing “Clap for Cares Support Set”. 

We will use a part of the sales of this set for funding the support activities to deliver the lunch box to the healthcare professionals.

Far Yeast Brewing Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President: Shiro Yamada), delivering various unique Japanese craft beers to beer fans around the world, and Kitaya Co., Ltd. (Head office: Yame, Fukuoka, President: Kotaro Kinoshita), a long-established Japanese Shochu distillery and Sake brewing company, will release the collaboration product “Kagua gin” in the middle of April. “Kagua gin” is made by distilling Far Yeast brewing’s signature product Kagua Saison.

Far Yeast Brewing and Kitaya export beer to over 20 countries and sake and spirits to 18 countries respectively. Despite our differences in product and process, we at Far Yeast Brewing and Kitaya share the same importer to the United States (Wine of Japan Import Inc.). It was through this relationship that we introduced the idea of a cross-industry collaboration

The concept behind KAGUA, one of our core brands at Far Yeast, is Japanese Fragranced ale. Kagua beers are brewed with herbs and fruits of Japanese origin such as Sansho pepper and Yuzu citrus. Kagua gin is distilled from Kagua Saison, boasting the most potent scent of Yuzu in the Kagua series. After distillation into high-quality spirits, Kagua gin is finished with a healthy dose of botanicals. This craft gin combines a fresh yuzu citrus scent and juniper berry flavor, with a rich flavor of hops and esters derived from Kagua Saison. Kagua gin is recommended for both craft beer fans and craft gin fans.

We continue on our mission to create unique Japanese themed beers to spread new distinctive beers to the world.

About KAGUA

“KAGUA”, meaning “Waga-Kaoru,” can be translated as Japanese fragrant beer. Kagua uses unique ingredients such as Sansho pepper and Yuzu. The beers are full-bodied with smooth carbonation from secondary fermentation in the bottle. The Kagua lineup has built its reputation as a high-quality, creative beer among beer fans worldwide since its launch.

In addition to Saison, Kagua has two other flagship products: Blanc and Rouge. Blanc is a strong wheat ale with a gorgeous ester and citrus aroma. Rouge is a strong ale spiced with sansho pepper and offers a savory malt aroma. Each of these unique beers offer a complex and flavorful experience not dissimilar to wine.  You can find Kagua at Michelin starred restaurants and luxury hotels and restaurants overseas.

About Kitaya Co., Ltd.

Founded in 1820, Kitaya celebrates their 200th anniversary this year, 2020. 

Since the company’s inception, they have followed their family constitution, that “the owner has to make the sake,” and their corporate philosophy, “spreading joy to people through sake.” Their premium sake product, “Daiginjo Gokujo Kitaya,” earned the world’s best champion Sake award at the 2013 International Wine Challenge in London.

Kitaya also produces distilled liquor and in 1973, having the ambition to spread Kyushu’s authentic shochu to the world, Kitaya pioneered the first vacuum distillation method in the shochu industry. Distilling at a lower temperature allowed them to preserve the fragrance of moromi, otherwise destroyed by heat, and cemented their position as the leading player in the Japanese shochu boom. This vacuum distillation technology is also used for Kagua gin.
