history

Japanese Sake dates back to over 2,000 years ago, even before the first Japanese written books ever recorded… Lore has it that Japanese Sake’s origin occurred when some natural airborne yeast landed in an open container of rice producing a slightly fermented liquid that gave some lucky farmers a pleasant buzz.

Japanese Sake gained the favor of the Japanese Imperial Court, which formed its own brewing department.

Today, Japanese Sake has become a world beverage, and October 1st has been designated as the official Japanese Sake Day!
