Kiyokawa Shoten

Kiyokawa Shoten is a specialist in long-term aged sake (Koshu), a rare existence even in Japan, casting the "magic of time" over sake in the "storehouse town" of Kitakata.
Focusing on the flagship brand "Aizu Kiyokawa," their Daiginjo and Junmai sakes, which sleep quietly in the storehouse for 10 or 20 years, emit a profound charm that overturns existing concepts of sake. Each drop brewed with Kitakata's pure water and strictly selected rice evolves over time into a brilliant amber liquid with a mellow, mature umami and rich aromas reminiscent of dried fruits and spices. Their artistic aging technology attracts intense attention from aficionados worldwide as "Sake Vintages."
They also focus on communicating the appeal of aged sake by offering year-round brewery tours. It is a brewery where you can experience the ultimate world of aging, woven by traditional skills and "time," the finest seasoning that Kitakata takes pride in.
