Description
Junmai Hiraku from Katsuragawa Shuzo in Niigata is a pure rice sake whose name, meaning 'to open' or 'to unfold,' suggests an approachable, inviting character. Brewed without added alcohol in a region renowned for its clean, tanrei karakuchi style, it delivers a dry, smooth flavor shaped by the abundant snowmelt water of the Niigata mountains. It is a versatile everyday junmai reflecting the brewery's regional identity.

Kato Shuzoten Co., Ltd.
Nigata
In 1994, the manufacturing area was relocated in search of good water, and the motto was to make sake from rice. Kato Sake Brewery's sake brewed under the rich nature of Sado and has been drunk by Sado people in the unique culture of Sado. It seems to be a matter of course, but I would like to thank and cherish this for granted. Investment for mass production and advertising is modest, but we are just a "quality Sado local sake" that pours heart -blooded for "good sake".
