Sankaku Beer Works, based in Kagoshima, has been introduced as Participant No. 16 in the event series “Vol.22.” The source post presents the brewery as one of the participating companies.

Water is central to Sankaku Beer Works’ brewing philosophy. The brewery uses water from Shimizu Spring in Kawabe, located in southwestern Kagoshima Prefecture. The spring is recognized among Japan’s notable waters, and its use gives the brewery a strong connection to the local landscape.

One of the brewery’s signature beers is Jadd-IPA, which balances hop bitterness and bright aromatics with a lightly toasted malt character. Dry hopping with several hop varieties adds complexity while keeping the beer approachable.

Yadd-Golden ALE offers a lighter profile. It is described as spicy and floral, with citrus-like aromas becoming more apparent as the beer warms. A gentle biscuit-like malt note and a light body make it an easy-drinking option.

The lineup also includes Moze-Sour, a refreshing sour beer with youthful grapefruit-like acidity, and Tiida-Hazy, a smooth beer inspired by New England-style wheat beer. Brewed with Weizen yeast, it combines banana-like richness with balanced acidity and a soft mouthfeel. The brewery also aims to create beers that can be enjoyed by people who do not usually drink beer.

Sankaku Beer Works’ production facility is located at TANOKAMI STATION, a former school repurposed in Kawabe. Its café and restaurant serve the brewery’s beers alongside dishes made with local ingredients, offering an opportunity to explore pairings rooted in the area.

The Vol.22 feature brings attention to a brewery whose beers reflect Kagoshima’s water and regional resources. Further details about the event’s offerings and draft lineup are expected through official announcements.
