A surefire delight, bound to hit its mark

Brewmaster and President Takahiro Nagayama spent time apprenticing at iconic Burgundy producer Pacalet to make sake that had the same intensity and tension as the greatest wines in the world. The limestone in the water, the strong and elegant use of Association yeast No. 9, and highly focused production result in a sake that is vinous while still undeniably nihonshu, Japan's national beverage, in style.

Nagayama Honke Brewing Company

Fifth-generation president/“toji” (master brewer) Takahiro Nagayama is passionate about his estate grower-producer style sake, allowing him to brew sake that represents his personality and to reach all the people who drink it. Taka’s motto is “Think globally, act locally,” and he uses rice from western Japan to echo this commitment. Taka set out to make sake that could make just as much of an impact as wine, with the tension and minerality to keep people drinking glass after glass.
