Kinshachi Beer

Kinshachi Beer is a craft beer brand produced by Morita Kinshachi Beer Co., Ltd., a craft beer maker founded in 1996 during government deregulation. The company states that its history can be traced back to the latter half of the 1880s, when brewing trials succeeded under the name 'Mitsuboshi Beer.' The brand aims to create Japanese beer culture by offering beers that suit Japan's climate, food culture, and Japanese palates while respecting beer styles, using carefully selected ingredients and groundwater from the Kiso River system. Its lineup includes Alt, Nagoya Red Miso Lager, Platinum Ale, Pilsner, IPA, and Matcha Draft. The company has received numerous awards, reaching 50 total, including gold awards at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2024 for Nagoya Red Miso Lager, Matcha Draft, and Mitsuboshi Beer Pilsner.

Morita Kinshachi Beer Co., Ltd. was founded in 1996 during government deregulation as a craft beer maker aiming to produce beers with quality and characteristics not found in major beers. However, the company states that its history can be traced back to the latter half of the 1880s, when brewing trials succeeded under the name 'Mitsuboshi Beer.' The company describes itself as carrying on a 100-year dream, brewing high-quality beer that pleases customers, rather than a transient 'local beer.' The brand concept is to inherit this 100-year dream and create Japanese beer culture.
