About

The label shows the harvest year of the sake rice and the brewing year. Please enjoy the flavor of each year and the degree of maturation. The label also features bamboo from the clear waters of the Nishikigawa, which is counted among Japan's three great bamboo groves, and the Kinsuzume (golden sparrow) motif. The bamboo keeps its evergreen color while enduring wind and snow, expressing resilient vitality and straight, upward growth. The sparrow carries wishes for prosperous descendants (shison hanei) and a bountiful harvest of the five grains (goko housho), and as it is said to devour all misfortune, it also carries a wish for family safety (kanai anzen). Please use our Kinsuzume as a messenger to convey your heartfelt feelings, whether as an ceremonial gift (o-tsukaimono) or another present.
