"Kirei," Hiroshima's Famous Sake Symbolizing Longevity and Prosperity

Founded in 1898, Kirei Sake Brewery began in Meiji 31 and continues to produce sake imbued with wishes for "longevity and prosperity," derived from the saying "A crane lives for a thousand years, a turtle for ten thousand." Initially known as "Yoshidaya's Sake," it was named "Kirei" in the early Meiji period, and Kirei Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. was established in 1939.

A Challenge to Dryness Beyond Hiroshima's Style

With the motto "prioritizing quality," Kirei Sake Brewery consistently produces crisp, dry sake, even though many sakes in Hiroshima are soft and sweet. They use carefully selected, top-grade sake rice varieties such as Hattan, Hattannishiki, and Yamada Nishiki, refining the milling process to improve sake quality. Furthermore, they generously use the finest subsoil water from Saijo, achieving a rich aroma, umami, and a refreshing finish.

Fusion of Tradition and Technology

Kirei is a renowned sake born from the severe climate of the four seasons and the skilled techniques of master brewers. While cherishing traditional methods, they focus on four key points:

1. Good aroma
2. Balance of the five tastes (spicy, sour, sweet, bitter, astringent)
3. Transparent color
4. Vibrant luster

These elements are exquisitely harmonized, making it a quality-focused sake loved by many.
