Sakata Nishiki

Sakata Nishiki is a brand that embodies the tradition and pride of Seto Shuzoten, preserved since its founding at the end of the Edo period. Following a 38-year production hiatus, the brewery revived the original 'kuratsuki' (brewery-conditioned) yeast that had lived in the cellar, creating a robust, full-bodied flavor profile that says 'this is local sake.' It maximizes the powerful umami of rice nurtured on the Ashigara Plain. Long cherished by locals as an accommodating food-pairing sake that enhances daily meals while providing a satisfying drink, its revived flavor is deeply engraved with the history of Kaisei Town and the passion of the brewers who reignited the furnace.
