Kanchiku Junmai Daiginjo is an elegant sake produced by Totsuka Shuzo, a historic brewery founded in 1653 in Nagano Prefecture. Its name, “Kanchiku,” meaning “winter bamboo,” symbolizes both grace and resilience.
Kanchiku is made from locally grown Miyamanishiki rice polished down to 49% and pure spring water from the Yatsugatake Mountains. The combines natural purity and centuries-old brewing tradition. Slow fermentation and low temperatures results in a refined expression, balancing delicate aromas with a clean, polished taste that highlights the craftsmanship.

The finish is light and vibrant, making it a versatile partner for richly flavored dishes like fatty fishes, hams, where its richer character cuts through savory-sweet profiles.
Enjoy it slightly chilled or at room temperature.
