Manufacturer "Kikusui Brewery Co., Ltd. (Nagano)"
Iida City, waar de Kikusui brouwerij gevestigd is, ligt in het centrum van Japan, ingeklemd tussen de magnifieke Zuidelijke en Centrale Alpen, waar je vier seizoenen lang kunt genieten van prachtige natuur. De brouwerij brouwt zorgvuldig sake met water en rijst uit dit rijke land. Door gebruik te maken van de vele uren zonneschijn en het verschil in temperatuur tussen dag en nacht in de bergen van het binnenland, verbouwt Kikusui een breed scala aan heerlijk fruit, waaronder appels. De brouwerij produceert ook fruitlikeuren gemaakt van lokaal fruit.
Als enige brouwerij in de districten Iida en Shimoina produceert onze brouwerij onder andere sake, shochu en fruitlikeur. We streven ernaar om hoogwaardige producten te creëren die traditionele sake-brouwtechnieken combineren met moderne apparatuur in een gezegende natuurlijke omgeving.
