🍶 New Arrival: Nigori Sake Meets Fruit—A New Kind of Indulgence

Nestled in the picturesque castle town of Iida, with panoramic views of the majestic Southern Alps, lies a true hidden gem: Kikusui Brewery, the only sake brewery remaining in Southern Nagano’s Shimoino region.

Once home to 37 sake producers, the area saw massive consolidation during World War II. In 1944, amidst nationwide mergers, a handful of local breweries came together under a single banner — and remarkably, this united legacy continues unchanged to this day. With deep roots and a proud history, Kikusui remains a rare, living piece of Japan’s sake-making tradition.

Carrying forward the prestigious sake name “Kikusui” — first used in the Meiji era — this brewery now brings us a fresh, exciting lineup:
