Elegance at its finest

Accompanied by a charming blue bottle, the Kikusui “Junmai Ginjo” is a must try. It has an light, playful essence with the perfect dash of dry. Being surprisingly smooth, you'll find yourself unable to resist the comforting freshness, which comes from the highly-polished rice used its brewing. Its medium-body taste delivers a touch of Mandarin orange, making this sake a unique substitute for white wine that could easily become a house favorite.

Founded in 1881, Kikusui Brewing Company has evolved with the times to make sake that’s enjoyed by as many people as possible. They are dedicated to the pursuit of quality and deliciousness while contributing to one’s health, relaxation and enjoyment. They stopped employing the traditional model of employing a brewmaster called “toji” in 1969 and instead have focused on technology and teamwork and to fuel their innovative thinking. They’ve since launched many sensational and iconic products while contributing to the advancement of research such as reviving the Kikusui sake rice, while incorporating sustainable practices as a whole.
