"Kato Kichibee Shoten" is one of the most famous and highly respected sake breweries in Japan, producing the legendary "Born" (translating to birth, future) sake. Operating in the Fukui prefecture since 1860, the brewery is famous for its exceptionally pure, deep, and long-aged beverages. Discover premium sake that is served to the Japanese Imperial Family and poured at official state banquets.
Read moreThis brewery distinguishes itself through several fundamental production principles. All of their beverages belong exclusively to the highest Junmai (no added distilled alcohol) category. They use local, highly pure mountain water and heavily polished, top-grade Yamada Nishiki rice. However, their biggest secret is long aging at low (often sub-zero) temperatures for one to five years or even longer. This gives the sake incredible smoothness, aromatic complexity, and a rich body.
Although it is common to associate sake only with sushi and sashimi, high-class "Born" products are incredibly gastronomic. Its pronounced umami flavor and balanced acidity perfectly complement grilled fish and seafood, while the more mature versions pair wonderfully even with steaks, French cuisine, or hard cheeses. Experiment with flavors from our wine snacks selection.
At what temperature should premium sake be tasted?
Top-quality Junmai Daiginjo sake is best enjoyed slightly chilled (around 10–12 °C), using white wine glasses to allow the subtle fruit and floral aromas to fully unfold.
Is this suitable for a prestigious gift?
Undoubtedly. Due to its history, prestige (used in imperial events), and luxurious packaging, it is one of the best and most original gift ideas for fans of Japanese culture.
