Kikubijin

Kikubijin(菊美人) is a sake brand crafted by Kikubijin Shuzo Co.,Ltd in Fukuoka, Japan. Explore their full lineup of 19 sakes on OneSip.

Founded in 1735 in Fukuoka Prefecture, Kikubijin Shuzo brewed the sake that poet Hakushu Kitahara adored throughout his life; Kitahara's own calligraphy of the name Kikubijin appears on the brewery's labels to this day. The brewery presses its sake by hand using drip-pressing and fune-pressing methods rather than mechanical means, drawing on water from the Yabe River alluvial flows and working with Yamanishiki and locally grown Yumeichigo sake rice. Kikubijin has earned a gold prize at the National New Sake Competition and four consecutive excellence awards in the pure rice division of the Fukuoka Regional Sake Appraisal.
