  • Irregular Limited Release

A symbol of unwavering aspiration.

We pour all our years of skill and passion into every drop of sake, just as the kanbai winter plum endures the harsh cold to unveil its beauty in a single blossom. This is a bottle that embodies our philosophy, "the aesthetics of a blossom/flower in every drop." [or: the beauty of one drop, one blossom/flower.”] We follow the fundamentals of ginjo brewing to create a gentle and elegant flavor. This is a limited release product with an irregular sales period.

Our aspiration for the future. 

Tatsunori Ishimoto, President

Why do we brew? Why do we continue to make sake? The answer can be found in the words of our founder, Ryuzo Ishimoto.

"We make sake for the local people of Kameda-go to enjoy."

Sake that complements meals, and sake that matches itself to the drinker before, during, and after meals. Over time, our sake connects people and enhances experiences. Since its establishment in 1907, Ishimoto’s 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation kuramoto have never wavered in their commitment to these ideals.

Sake brewing is not a path with an end, no matter how much you perfect it. We pour all our years of skill and passion into every drop of sake, just as the kanbai winter plum endures the harsh cold to unveil its beauty in a single blossom. Ichirin, itteki - one drop, one blossom/flower. This is the sake that embodies our aesthetic ideals more than any other. Through each and every drop, we hope to share the vitality that propels us towards tomorrow and the scenic beauty of Koshi no Kanbai's home of Niigata. For us, there is no greater joy. And in the year ahead we will once again brew even finer sake, delivering more moments of inspiration and rich experiences. We renew our commitment to the future with Ichirin Itteki leading the way.

The beauty of the dignified winter plum blossom blooming in the snow.

The Ichirin Itteki label bears a foil-embossed logo based on a snowflake. Just as the kanbai winter plum blossom endures the harsh cold to unveil its beauty in a single blossom, the label expresses Ishimoto Sake Brewery's aesthetic ideal of quiet beauty with a strong core. The carton and wrapping paper bear the motif of a traditional Japanese mizuhiki, a decorative paper cord used in gift-wrapping, making this sake the perfect fit for all of life's significant milestones.
