About
Since its founding in 1890, Kimpai has continually pursued the true taste of Japanese sake. At Kimpai Shuzo, quality comes first. To preserve the distinctive character of Nada sake, the brewery produces everything in-house, a philosophy that values quality over quantity. As a result, each Kimpai product carries the flavor and personality of that particular sake, with its own clearly expressed character. From namazake (unpasteurized sake), offering the fresh taste of just-pressed sake that until now only kurabito (brewery workers) could enjoy, to the mellow regular Kimpai, and Karakuchi Kimpai, whose crisp, tightened flavor is dry, Kimpai is meant to be enjoyed in any season and in any way you like. Whether as a gift or for an evening drink at home, please enjoy Kimpai.
