Spring Valley Brewery is the original brewery of Kirin. Founded in 1869 by William Copeland, the brewery was purchased by a group of Japanese investors and eventually Spring Valley became Kirin. In 2014 the Spring Valley Brewing brand was relaunched and they currently have 3 locations in Japan.

The Daikanyama shop was the first to be launched and can be considered their head location with a brewery located inside the main building. With 2 spacious floors with ample seating and an outdoor area as well, you never have to worry about getting a seat.

This authentic fruit beer features the pleasant acidity of raspberries, a refreshing taste, and a gorgeous ruby color. It is made by adding raspberry juice to malt and hops and brewing with wine yeast. We paid particular attention to the combination of ingredients, aiming for a jazz-like flavor in which the various parts show off their individuality while harmonizing together.
