Shinshu Kirei, a name that has been rapidly rising to fame in recent years as a Nagano Prefecture sake brand. Its history runs deep — an old brewery that has continued making sake in Shinshu Ueda for more than 350 years. The beautiful label, crafted by Mari, the older sister of toji Mitori Okazaki, catches the eye. A fruity yet light and calm aroma. Enjoy the outstanding refreshing sensation created by a gentle sweetness and a tingling effervescence.
