KIKUSAKARI - Policy of Sake Brewing -
Materials - The most important factor of Sake brewing is the quality of the rice. We polish rice, scraping off the proteins and fats that are unnecessary components for brewing. The grade of the sake is set by the quality of the polished rice. The highest class sake is called DAIGINJO, which is brewed with 50% polished rice. 30% polished is average for common sake brewing, but most of the products in Kuichi Syuzou are brewed with rice polished down 40% with the same standard as DAIGINJO.
Sake contains 80% water, and thus plays an important role in brewing sake. Kiuichi uses natural, hard water from a spring with water suitable for fermentation.
Gekkakow

Gekkakow is our most prestigious Vintage Sake. Gekkakow is brewed from "Yamada Nishiki" rice (polished down to 35%). Cold matured for over three years.

Available in 720ml bottles
Kurashizuku
Available both in Japan and U.S.A.
Kurashizuku's flavor, color and fragrance are enriched by the careful first steaming and pressing of its rice. Kurashizuku is Usu-Nigori, i.e. sake that has some slight sake yeast, rice and koji in the bottle. But, the bulk remains behind on the filtering cloth as Sake-Kasu ('cake').
Available in 720ml bottles
Asamurasaki

Red rice was cultured in ancient times, but is hardly used in modern times. This very unique sake is naturally red in color, and slightly sweet with some definite berry-like aromas and flavors. Asamurasaki gives the mouth a slight "spritz" feeling. Available in 720ml bottles

What's Shouchu?
Shouchu is a traditional Japanese distilled spirits which has a high alcohol concentration at about 20 to 45%. Each region in Japan has developed its own Shouchu from 500 years of history.
