EXHILIRATING
MEMORABLE
DAIGINJO is premium saké made from rice polished 50% or more. Our competition stops here
while we only regard it as our starting point. DAIGINJO translates to saké made with great
artistry. Without a great artist, even the best rice will produce plain and dull saké. For us, it is
not about polishing rice or fancy packaging. It’s simply about being the best.
THE MASTERPIECE must be handmade in small batches by skilled artisans in order to meet our
exacting standards. It will excite you with a beautiful aroma and exhilarate your palate with an
expansive flavor profile. It is a truly memorable and artistic saké that will make a lasting
impression.

PROGRESSIVE
Our vision was to create saké that will change the perception of even the most skeptic drinker.
This challenge demanded that our saké be easy to drink for novices and have the quality to
impress the most discerning experts. GINJO mean an artistically brewed saké. We found a
talented artist who shared our vision for a progressive style of saké.
SNOW MOON BEAUTY is a limited production saké that is handcrafted by skilled artisans. It
combines clarity and depth, using an artistic contrast between soft and light Niigata-style saké
and the modern 21st century rich and vibrant style. It is saké that gives no excuses and makes
no compromise.

SOULFUL
SOPHISTICATED
JUNMAI is made according to the saké purity law with only rice, water, kōji and yeast. Brewing a
larger portion of the rice bran has the risk of producing harsh off flavors in saké. We avoid this
compromise by working with skilled artisans who take advantage of the additional rice bran to
produce sophisticated richness and depth.
HONEY BLADE is handmade saké that can be served at many temperatures. Its limited annual
production allows greater attention to detail which produces a smooth tasting saké. It is bright,
crisp and refreshing when chilled. Then turns soft, hearty and soulful as it warms. “Hot or cold”
was never our gimmick. We just made our saké to a higher standard.

EXQUISITE
NIGORI is cloudy with rice from the saké mash. We began with a junmai made according to the
saké purity law with only rice, water, kōji and yeast. Then we asked our brewers to make it rich
and smooth, creamy and refreshing, sweet and dry, exquisite but not pretentious. We
demanded that the cloudiness not muddle the quality and balanced flavor of our saké.
CRAZY MILK is brewed by a passionate group of artisans with a limited annual production.
Utilizing advanced brewing techniques, we avoided compromises that others would find
inevitable. It is so well rounded that any drinker would find something to love in its complex
personality. It’s time you expected more from your NIGORI.
