Hyakumoku “Junmai Ginjo”
Hyogo prefecture
Soft spoken, but powerful
“Hyakumoku” is Kikumasamune’s first new line of sake in 130 years! If their other sake is good enough to last through the ages, this new sake must be something special. It uses “Designation A” Yamadanishiki rice as well as that famed Miyamizu water. Like a powerful statement by a quiet person, this sake has a subtle aroma that leads into a light ramune candy, but leaves you feeling changed.

Kikumasamune Brewing Company
Kikumasamune Brewing Company was founded in the port city of Nada in 1659, back when fourth-generation Tokugawa Ietsuna reigned in Edo, present-day Tokyo. Nada became known for its exceptional water quality that produces dry, delicious sake, which was brought to Edo by sea towards the end of 18th century. To this day, it remains one of the top sake-producing regions. They’ve fully embraced their history by honoring orthodox brewing methods such as kimoto, and by being one of the very few breweries still producing “taru sake” (sake stored in wooden vats) in-house, while also launching their modern “Hyakumoku” series.
