Jikon "Junmai Ginjo" Yamadanishiki
Mie prefecture
Jikon’s signature taste
Sixth-generation owner and brewmaster Tada Onishi believes that it’s his job not to “make” the sake, but to “cultivate” the natural ingredients and allow them to do what they do best. In this case, the result is a junmai ginjo with lush aromas of melon and flowers, a fruity taste and a bright acidity. Allocations of Jikon products are exceptionally limited, so get your hands on it while you can!
To ensure the most number of people have the chance to enjoy Jikon “Junmai Ginjo” Yamadanishiki, we are applying a limit of one bottle per customer. Any order that includes more than one will be revised and you will be refunded the difference. Thank you for your understanding.

Kiyashou Sake Brewery
Founded in 1818 in Mie prefecture, Kiyashou Sake Brewery is a registered Tangible Cultural Property. It’s located in the fertile Iga Valley, surrounded by mountains that provide optimal temperature conditions for growing high-quality rice. Sixth-generation owner and brewmaster Tadayoshi Onishi reinvented the brewery’s style by launching the Jikon brand in 2005. Its depth, refreshing acidity and fruity aroma enjoy great acclaim, and it’s now one of the most sought-after sake brands. Made in small batches, their products are very difficult to acquire. “Jikon” roughly translates to “carpe diem,” so seize the moment and cherish these rare bottles to the fullest!
