Nihonkai

Nihonkai (Sea of Japan) is the brand that symbolized the brewery, which Ito Shuzo once brewed with pride. It was pursued as a sake to fully enjoy the dynamic scenery of the Sea of Japan that Niigata is proud of in the world and the rich blessings born from it.
With the harmony with seafood as the top priority, it features a sharp and neat liquor quality that complements the umami of seafood to the fullest. Nestling in the daily lives of local people, it was loved for a long time along with the sea breeze. Although it has now become a legendary sake due to the brewery's closure, its name is still quietly handed down as an important memory symbolizing the deep bond between Niigata's sea and sake.
