Suigei “Koiku 54”
Kochi prefecture
Savory and sour, the best of both worlds
Brewed using Kochi prefecture's original rice, Gin no Yume, this sake has an umami-rich taste. The savory tones are enhanced by slightly citrusy flavors that yield a clean, refreshing finish. The moderate aroma blends seamlessly with an ambrosial taste to create a sake suited to a wide range of dishes and occasions.

Suigei Brewing Company
Founded in 1872, Suigei is named after the feudal lord who once ruled the area, nicknamed “the drunken lord of the sea with whales.” In their hometown of Tosa, a party over delicious food and sake is an important place of communication. With the mission to preserve this important drinking culture, they actively organize various events and collaborate with other industries — in Japan and abroad — under the slogan “Enjoy Sake Life.” They’re known for a clean aftertaste that never tires the palate and always compliments food well, whether it’s their classic dry staples or their modern, juicy and expressive styles.
