Kiyasho Shuzo (木屋正酒造)

Founded in 1818 in Nabari, Mie Prefecture, Kiyasho Shuzo rose to legendary status with the launch of its brand "Jikon" in 2004. Created by the 6th-generation head, Tadayoshi Onishi, the name Jikon signifies "living in the present moment." The brand revolutionized the industry with its signature profile: a vibrant, juicy acidity perfectly balanced with a refined sweetness. Characterized by extraordinary purity and a lively, fruit-forward complexity, Jikon captures the essence of modern artisanal sake. Due to its limited production and unparalleled consistency, it has become one of the most sought-after labels in the world, standing alongside Juyondai as a pinnacle of contemporary brewing.
