Kikuchi Brewery
"Aromatic sake with a fine body. Premium and luxurious Omachi sake at its finest."
This gorgeous junmai daiginjo sake is brewed with Japan's oldest sake rice, Omachi. Fruity and aromatic sake with floral notes and a dry finish. On the nose, we can enjoy notes of grapefruit, mandarin orange and pomelo. It's well textured with a bit of a bite on the palate. A flavourful astringency rounds out a crisp, refreshing final note.

The Kikuchi Brewery
The Kikuchi Sake Brewery was founded in 1878 in the traditional business district located in the Tamashima area of Kurashiki City in Okayama Prefecture.
Gifted with excellent water from the Takahashi River valley and premium quality Omachi rice, the brewery is focused on producing small batches of high-quality sake.
Delicious & sustainable sake brewed with Omachi rice, Japan's oldest sake rice strain. The Kikuchi family has always put quality and sustainability before anything else. It is why they only use the finest local ingredients that are grown in sustainable ways. One example is the decision to incur a higher cost to use Omachi rice (Japan's oldest sake rice) produced in a pesticide and fertiliser free environment by famous sustainability grower Akinori Kimura.
