A top-class toast

Only sake made with techniques that comply with certain quality standards can receive AWA certification. This sparkling sake from Daiichi Brewing Company gets its natural bubbles from in-bottle secondary fermentation. Its refreshing citrus aroma, moderate sweetness and clean aftertaste earned this junmai ginjo the honor of being the toast sake for G7 and G20 gatherings. Celebrate like a world dignitary with fresh oysters and caviar canapes.

Daiichi Brewing Company

Founded in 1673, Daiichi Brewing Company is the oldest brewery in Tochigi Prefecture which has endured many challenges over time. At the end of the 19th century the brand Kaika (開化) was born, coinciding with the westernization of Japan. In 1936, they changed the character to Kaika (開華) to express the elegance in their sake, and in 1998 they switched to only producing premium grade sake. They are both historic and innovative, incorporating newer brewing techniques, and unmistakenly loved dearly by locals, as you can find them holding outdoor festivals on brewery grounds every summer.
