Located in Iida City in southern Nagano Prefecture, Kikusui Sake Brewery is the area's only brewery. It was founded in 1944 through the merger of 37 local breweries. Using the revived sake rice "Takane nishiki," grown by local contract farmers, they brew sake with traditional methods. The brewery is dedicated to crafting sake unique to Iida City with a distinct, local character. This Honjozo Nama-Chozo sake presents a fresh and light, yet refreshing flavor that invigorates your taste buds. Through special processing, it harmonizes seamlessly with a diverse range of foods. This Sake pairs well with light dishes such as Stir-Fried Leafy Greens, Tempura of Sillago (Kisu) or Vegetables, Sweet Shirmp Sashimi or Hamachi. Best enjoyed when served chilled. Great choice for those new to sake.
