From the beautiful clear waters of Hokkaido to the delicately refined Sake rice, we are inspired by the Japanese Artisan craft Sake breweries who stand by their traditional brewing methods to produce the perfect Sake.
Because we are based in Japan and deal direct with the Sake breweries we can offer a more flexible and personal service than other distributors.
Our Sake is exported to order, direct from the Sake breweries ensuring our clients get the freshest Sake. Through our relationships we also offer clients quick access to new seasonal Sake before it is available to the general market, OEM and special production runs.
We are very careful about the Breweries we choose to represent.
