  • What is unique about this sake is that it is extremely terroir-driven, as all of the ingredients used to make this sake are from Shizuoka prefecture alone. 

    It is made with Shizuoka-grown sake-specific rice, 'Homarefuji,' a variety exclusively available to sake breweries within the prefecture.

    It also features 'Shizuoka Yeast NEW-5,' developed solely in Shizuoka Prefecture, and is brewed using 'Sakuranozawa' water sourced from an old well within the brewery's premises.

  • 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.
