Steering the ship at Kamonishiki brewery is Yuichi Tanaka Toji, the master brewer, having achieved the position of head brewer of his familyโs sake business when he was just 23. As a young brewer he is full of ambition and passion to make delicious sake that will appeal to the modern person who has a diverse palate and subsists on a varied, international diet.
He dedicates time daily to tasting and studying the sake of the most popular brands in attempts to firmly grasp the intricacies of what makes a sake sought after.
Niigata Prefecture, where Kamonishiki has been a functioning sake brewery in Kamo city since its establishment in 1893, is a region most known for its distinctively clean and bone dry style of sake, Tanrei Karakuchi.

Kamonishiki, however, is defying that mold and developing sake that doesnโt feel heavily alcoholic, rather elegant, fragrant and flavourful with distinct umami. The brewery is often featured in Sake magazines as one to watch.

Kamonishiki sake is so approachable that it can convert any inexperienced sake drinker, any dabbler, into a big fan of the rice brew.
The Nifudasake series adorns a fun new style of label design featuring a cargo tag stamped with the name of each type making it easily recognizable and eye-catching. Each tag also features the tank number from which the brew was bottled. Each season, the brewery releases a new version of the Nifudasake which creates a new buzz. The styles can vary from juicy to crisp and dry but they always maintain a fresh quality at a lower alcohol content for easy drinking.
