About the brewery
Kikkawa Jozo is one of a few breweries whose quality of sake has improved after M&A. Kikkawa Jozo was acquired by a company in Tokyo several years ago, and their sake has become popular these days. In 2024 they made their debut on Craft Sake Week, a sake festival where only popular breweries are allowed to open a booth.
You will definitely feel very welcomed when you visit the brewery - the management team of the brewery as well as the brewery master are great people. On sake, their usage of acidity is very characteristic and second to none.
Welcome to this closed-to-public brewery.
