Brewing with local Shizuoka yeast CA-50 lends an inviting muscat-like aroma. On the palate, the sweetness and acidity are perfectly balanced, whilst the use of specialty Bizen Omachi rice adds depth of flavour.

Eikun Brewery was founded in 1881, a year which coincided with the signing of the Japan-UK Treaty of Amity and Commerce. This significant event inspired the brewery's name "Eikun," derived from characters representing the UK and Japan, symbolising the friendship and cooperation between the two nations. Given this origin story, Eikun Brewery is especially pleased to share their sake with people in the UK.

This is a terroir-driven brewery on a journey to brew a distinctly ‘Shizuoka sake’, using local soft water and locally produced sake yeast strains.
