Whether you’re exploring sake for the first time or a seasoned aficionado, Kigen Cup Sake delivers a light, smooth experience that captures the heart of Japan’s beloved rice wine.

A Name Rooted in Heritage

The word Kigen means “origin” or “beginning” in Japanese — a fitting name for a sake that celebrates the spirit of simplicity, tradition, and the samurai code. This sake is produced with meticulous care by Okunomatsu Brewery in Fukushima, Japan, a family-run sake house with roots reaching back to the 1700s. Their commitment to time-honored brewing techniques ensures that each cup offers genuine quality and an authentic sip of Japanese culture.

Brewed for Balance and Enjoyment

Kigen Cup Sake is classified as Futsu-shu — a style of everyday table sake crafted for easy drinking and broad appeal. It’s made from select Japanese rice, gently polished to remove impurities while retaining the grain’s delicate character. Fresh spring water and a carefully cultivated yeast strain contribute to its clean, slightly sweet profile and crisp finish.

This sake is designed to be enjoyed wherever life takes you — at a picnic, a casual dinner, or relaxing at home.

Tasting Notes

Palate: Soft and smooth on the tongue, with flavors of mild tropical fruit and a touch of sweetness balanced by refreshing acidity. A slight hint of nuttiness and a dry edge make each sip bright and satisfying.

Finish: Clean and crisp, leaving a faint sweetness and a delicate touch of umami that encourages another sip.
