KIKUSUI - NIIGATA PREFECTURE

Founded in 1881, a relatively young brewery, Kikusui is still run by the same family, currently the 5th generation. Over the years, Kikusui has endured many hardships, the low availability of rice for brewing, labor shortages and declining sales, during the difficult post-war years.

But the greatest challenges were the Niigata earthquake in 1964, then the Kaetsu floods in 1966 and 1967 where, for two consecutive years, the brewery was destroyed and washed away. Despite adversity, Kikusui is still committed to producing the best quality sake and as drink preferences change over time, Kikusui is constantly developing new products. From humble beginnings, Kikusui is today a major player in sake worlf, but has stuck to her original vision of creating sake that can be enjoyed by a large audience.
