ABOUT THE SAKE

Suigei Brewing Co., Ltd., established in 1872 in Kochi Prefecture, Japan, has a rich history spanning over 150 years. The brewery, originally named Kichizō, was renamed Suigei, meaning "Drunken Whale," inspired by a historical nickname for a local lord known for his love of sake. Located in Tosa City, Suigei benefits from Kochi’s pristine natural environment, including access to high-quality water from the Niyodo River, one of Japan’s purest water sources. This water is crucial for crafting their signature clean and crisp sakes.
The brewery sources premium Yamada Nishiki rice from Hyogo Prefecture’s Toku-A region, renowned for producing top-grade sake rice. Suigei’s commitment to advanced rice polishing techniques and precise brewing methods has earned it accolades both domestically and internationally, making it a favorite among sake enthusiasts for its elegant and aromatic profiles.

TASTING NOTE:

Suigei Junmai Daiginjo Hyogo Yamada Nishiki 50% captivates the senses with its radiant bouquet of apple and banana, interwoven with delicate jasmine and white flower undertones, creating a glossy and inviting aroma. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious balance of gentle sweetness and crisp acidity, with a silky texture that glides effortlessly, revealing subtle umami and a hint of minerality derived from Kochi’s pristine Kagami River water. The finish is clean and lingering, leaving a refreshing impression that invites another sip. Best enjoyed chilled, this sake elevates dishes like tempura, unagi, or miso-marinated wagyu, making it a sublime companion for refined dining experiences.
