Nito “Yamadanishiki 65”
Aichi prefecture
Opposites attract
The label sports two rabbits which represent the two opposing flavors that find harmony in this sake. Made with the intent to be competitive across the world, “Yamadanishiki 65” has one of the fullest textures of all the brewery’s lineup. Enjoy a glass by itself, and then another with food so that you can experience how it changes throughout the course of a meal and as the temperature changes.

Maruishi Brewing Company
If ever there was a brewery to represent the idea that great things can come in small packages, Maruishi Brewing Company is it. The brewery consists of just four people brewing sake with their heart, soul and happiness. The brewery has been around since 1690, and their brand Nito meaning “two hares” goes after two different flavor profiles often thought unattainable in one sake. With access to the magnificent water of the Yahagi River and carefully sourced rice from all over the country, they may be small, but they are mighty.
