Mellows the soul

Kikusui Sake Company’s 130 years of experience culminate in this refined, triumphant sake. Kuramitsu is crafted from rice that’s been delicately milled to an impressive 23% of its original size. The heady, rice aroma tantalizes the senses before the first, fascinating sip. Mellow, melon tones smooth out the palate, releasing tension, then continues to soothe through every following glass. To taste truly refined sake, taste Kuramitsu.

Kikusui Brewing Company

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.
