What's all the fuss about?

Famous/ cult-ish sake is complicated. We're presenting a sake that people in Japan can barely get their hands on -- and offering it to you all here in the U.S. in extremely limited quantities. What's up with that! We want to be able to share amazing sake with everyone! At the end of the day, a sake brand that has reached global popularity (read: Jikon) is good for sake as a whole -- and we're excited & honored to be a part of that. Also it's delicious. Let us tell you more:

Kiyasho Shuzo's brand "Jikon" was created with 6th generation toji-president, Tada Onishi -- he took over the brewery in 2003 at age 27 (gasp). After years of making futsushu, or ordinary sake, Onishi-san believed the brewery should refocus towards excellent craft sake. Inspired by tastes & flavors from brands like Juyondai (another cult favorite), Jikon sake became the incredibly easy drinking, well crafted sake we know and love today. We especially like the slight effervescence captured in most bottles -- it reminds us of the fresh zippiness we find in Mutsu Hassen "The Black Label", Sawaya Matsumoto "Shuhari" and Kaze no Mori sake. These modern, bright styles with a little bit higher acidity pair well with with Japanese food, but also make them suitable for global cuisines, especially those that are use to drinking wine.
