Kiippon (junmai from a single brewery)

Kiippon (生一本) refers to junmai sake brewed at a single production site of one specific sake brewery. The designation covers only pure sake that has not been blended with sake made at the company's other production sites or at other companies' facilities. Kiippon is regarded as a special type of sake that clearly reflects the brewery's brewing techniques, the local rice, and the character of its brewing water, and in which the producer's intentions and individuality come through strongly. As a result, flavors vary widely and each brewery's distinctiveness is emphasized, making it an interesting choice for enthusiasts.
