Kaganoi

Kaganoi is a prestigious brand with over 370 years of history, named by the Kaga Domain's daimyo Maeda Toshitsune in the early Edo period. Utilizing medium-hard water—rare for Niigata—it is characterized by a high mineral content that provides a powerful drive, harmonized with the rich umami of rice to create a deep, full-bodied character. Having overcome the tragic destruction of the brewery in 2016, the current 'Kaganoi,' brewed in a new facility with state-of-the-art equipment, is truly the taste of hope, filled with an indomitable spirit of recovery. It is a masterpiece where traditional gravity and modern crispness resonate, a sake Itoigawa proudly presents to the world.
