One of the oldest continuously active breweries in Japan, Kenbishi has been making bold and rich sake in Hyogo since 1505. Their iconic diamond logo can be seen in 16th-century illustrations of samurai drinking sake from a barrel for courage before battle.

This is the taste of old school sake: deep, rich, bursting with umami, sweetness and acidity.  Pairs beautifully with oysters, sea urchin, tempura and even dry-aged steak.  Made from locally Hyogo-grown Yamada Nishiki and Aiyama milled to 60% and a touch of distilled alcohol to add weight and enhance the dark aromas.
