Niigata
Founded in 1881. The Kikusui Brewery was founded in 1881 in a small castle town, Shibata, in the "Snow Country," Niigata where is Japan's prime rice producing region and also the producer of the most premium Sake. The Ideal Climate for Brewing Sake The climate in Shibata City, where the Kikusui Brewery is located, is ideally suited for Sake brewing. Cold winters offer low temperatures ideal for brewing premium Sake and also provide the purest water in the form of snowmelt running off the "Iide" mountain range. The numerous underground water veins around the "Kaji" River offer us this ideal "soft" water for premium Sake brewing. The Northern "Echigo" plains, which spread throughout the north and south of Shibata City, are blanketed with the golden ears of rice during harvest season, providing large quantities of the highest quality rice. We are thankful for nature’s blessings and aim to be an Earth friendly company.

Led by a female Japanese entrepreneur, we set out to craft a premium ICHIDO sparkling sake that would challenge the preconceived notions of both traditional sake and sparkling wine – something a little different, for those who pride themselves on living their lives a little differently. Because we believe that sake can be Japanese in origin, but international in its appeal; that sake can go beyond the sushi menu, bubbling up alongside traditional sparkling wines everywhere from birthdays, to weddings, to brunch, to the little everyday celebrations that make life truly special. ICHIDO Sparkling SAKE is the clean alternative to wine with 7-15% alcohol by volume, but Gluten-free, Sulfite-free, Tannin-free, and five times less acidity than wine. It made from only Japanese natural ingredients – premium non-GMO rice, pure soft water, yeast, and handmade koji and therefore best matched not only with Japanese cuisine such as Wagyu and Sushi, but also with any seafoods. ICHIDO contains the best finest bubbles created by secondary fermentation and the new rich taste discovered with world-wide communication. As a result, ICHIDO won gold/silver medals at worldwide competition – Feminalise and Kuramaste at France, Milano Sake Challenge, CIVRE at Spain and so on.
