About Kirei Brewery

Kirei Brewery is a long-established sake brewery with over 150 years of history, located in the Saijo district of Higashihiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture. They have consistently produced high-quality sake rooted in the climate of Hiroshima, focusing on "dry junmai-shu."

The name "Kirei" signifies longevity, embodying the wish for the health and happiness of those who drink it.

Product Features

◎ Not too sweet, full of umami

Without using special yeasts, we use the "moromi" (mash) of "Kirei Karakuchi Junmai Hachiju," which Kirei Brewery is proud of. This achieves an exquisite balance that is not overly sweet, while still possessing natural umami and a deep richness.

◎ Refreshing with naturally occurring bubbles

The bubbles are not artificially injected with carbon dioxide, but are naturally generated through secondary fermentation in the bottle. This method results in a finely carbonated sparkling sake with delicate, fine bubbles.

◎ Cherishing the original umami of sake

“Kiho” aims for a light and refreshing mouthfeel while preserving the original umami of rice. It is made to harmonize with various occasions and a wide range of foods, enriching the dining experience.
