Tajime Chikusen (田治米合名会社)

Established in 1702 in the mountainous region of northern Hyogo, Tajime Chikusen is the master behind the renowned "Chikusen" brand. The brewery is a staunch advocate of "Junmai-only" brewing and the art of "Long-term Aging." Believing that the true character of sake unfolds with time, most of their releases are matured for at least two years, resulting in a profound Umami and a mellow, complex profile. As a specialist in "Food-Pairing Sake," Chikusen is particularly celebrated for its excellence when served warm (Kanzake). Upon heating, the sake reveals an incredible roundness and depth that complements a wide range of cuisines. It is a legendary brand for connoisseurs who value traditional craftsmanship and the rustic elegance of matured sake.
