Description
Kikkawa Afuri Junmai Daiginjo Omachi
Although many sake breweries boast their exceptionally soft natural water, Kikkawa Jozo has a different approach entirely. Of the 3 wells on the brewery property, the well with the most mineral content is drawn for brewing, contributing to their beautifully crisp Sake.
Kikkawa Jozo combines traditional brewing methods such as Hako-Koji production with more modern techniques and updated equipment. The 5 full-time brewers are all younger than average and represent a new generation of passionate sake artisans.
