菊正宗
Since 1659 — 神戸市東灘区, Hyogo
Since 1659 in Nada's Mikage district, Kikumasamune has built its whole honjozo line around kimoto, the slow, natural path to dry sake.
Kikumasamune traces back to 1659, when the Kano family, timber merchants, built a sake kura on their own estate in Mikage, Kobe — one of Nada's five celebrated brewing districts. In 2009 the house converted its entire honjozo line to kimoto, the traditional method of cultivating yeast through natural lactic-acid fermentation rather than commercial additives, in pursuit of the dry style Nada is known for. Its premium Hyakumoku label draws on contract-grown Yamada Nishiki from Miki's Special-A Yokawa district and Nada's own miyamizu brewing water; the company has also expanded into cosmetics and food.
