Saké Junmai Daiginjo GIN

Tasting-wise, this sake is particularly well-suited to sushi, sashimi, steamed vegetables, light dishes such as white fish, steamed chicken, salad, etc. This very interesting sake is perfectly suited to French cuisine.

Zuiyo Co. was founded in 1867 in Kawashiri, a town that flourished during Hosokawa reign as a collection and storage center for rice harvests. Zuiyo was the first brewery to switch from akazake, the only alcohol made in Kumamoto at the time, to sake.

Kumamoto Prefectural Sake Institute was founded here in 1909 to improve sake brewing techniques in Kumamoto (it was later moved to Shimasaki, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City in 1922), making Zuiyo a very important player in Kumamoto's sake history.
