"Kato Kichibee Shoten" is a long-established brewery located in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture. Known worldwide for its "Born" brand, they insist on brewing only additive-free Junmai sake. They use deep groundwater from the Hakusan mountain range pumped from 184 meters underground, and the highest quality sake rice, such as Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo's Special A district and Gohyakumangoku from Fukui. With an astonishing average rice polishing ratio of 34.5% and ice-temperature aging technology, they create a mellow taste overflowing with transparency. Highly acclaimed around the world, they have received numerous top awards at international competitions.
