Bursting with freshness

Daisekkei Brewing Company’s seasonal sake is always incredibly juicy. Using aromatic yeast, Daisekkei “Summer Light” doesn’t disappoint. This sake uses Hitogokochi rice from contract farms, polished in a special way called “henpei” to maximize the pure starch center. By carefully controlling the water ratio during fermentation and stopping fermentation at 13% ABV, they creatie a refreshing balance between umami, bright acidity, lightness and a dry finish.

Daisekkei Brewing Company

First formed as a joint company between two breweries in 1898 and renamed in 1953, the traditions of the brewery have been passed down to today, and are very focused on doing a little more every year. From doing research in hopes of developing ever better products, to putting in the effort to collect, clean, and reuse bottles to reduce their environmental impact, Daisekkei Brewing Company always strives to improve. Their sake is a nod to past generations and has the feeling of sake like their fathers and grandfathers used to drink.
