Business Content

KIKUSUI is primarily a traditional sake brand. It boasts a broad lineup of different types of sake, ranging from the highest-grade Daiginjo, the choice for special occasions, to affordable products for everyday consumption. This is related to our role as the only brewer in our local region: to provide various categories of sake to be able to meet different local consumption needs and to purchase as raw materials dedicated sake rice varieties cultivated under contract by local farmers in an effort to incorporate local tastes and values into our production. At the same time, we also produce many categories of alcoholic beverages other than sake, sourcing quality materials from a wealth of local production sites. Our non-sake lineup includes: shochu (Japanese distilled spirit) based on sweet potatoes, regular potatoes and buckwheat; dry apple cider; and fruit liqueur varieties based on peach, blueberry and Japanese plum, among others.
