Located in Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture, Daiichi Brewery is a historic brewery that was established in Kanbun 13 (1673) and is famous for producing sake. They focus on small-scale production, paying attention to the details of rice, water, and the brewing process, resulting in a rich and refined taste.

Starting in Heisei 10 (1998), Daiichi Brewery became the first brewery in Tochigi Prefecture to fully transition to producing sake with a specific name. In addition to meeting the legal standards for raw materials and manufacturing methods for sake with a specific name, they have also set stricter standards for themselves. Their sake has a gorgeous, delicate aroma and flavor and has received high praise.

In addition to the locals' love, Daiichi Brewery continues to explore and experiment with new brewing methods and flavors. They aim to create more unique tastes and flavors that more people can enjoy and appreciate.

Furthermore, Daiichi Brewery has won the most gold awards at the Tochigi Prefecture New Sake Appraisal Conference. The team includes five "Sake Brewing First-Class Skilled Workers" certified by the national certification system, two "Shimotsuke Toji" certified by Tochigi Prefecture, one "Special Evaluator for Sake Sensory Evaluation Analysis" certified by the National Research Institute of Brewing, one "Tochigi Meister," and two "Food Inspection Technicians" who can conduct official inspections of rice grades. They conduct rice grade inspections on their own equipment and are very careful in the brewing process, controlling each step to ensure the quality of their sake. They value not only the taste of the sake but also its purity. They use high-quality water sources and premium rice for fermentation and brewing and perform multiple filtrations to remove any impurities. All of these secrets combine to make the Kaika sake even more special and worth tasting.

Daiichi Brewery's sake is not only popular in Tochigi Prefecture but has also garnered attention from other regions in Japan and overseas. Their sake has won international awards multiple times. Their success is not only due to their superior brewing techniques but also their utmost pursuit of product quality and their integrity towards customers.

With its 350-year history, superior brewing techniques, and ultimate pursuit of product quality, Daiichi Brewery enjoys a high reputation in both the Japanese and international sake industry. Their sake is not only a cuisine but also a representation of culture and art, definitely worth a try.

Kaika's products are known for their combination of modern technology and traditional craftsmanship, with a focus on rich and diverse flavors in their sake. In terms of technology, Daiichi Brewery uses the latest equipment and processes to maintain strict quality control and superior product quality.

One of Kaika's flagship products is AWA SAKE, which is produced using a secondary fermentation method in the bottle. It has a refreshing citrus flavor and a dense foam, with a crisp acidity and refreshing aftertaste that makes it an ideal sake to pair with meals.

Another representative product is the Kaika Hyougo Yamada Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo, which is made from carefully crafted 100% Hyougo Yamada Nishiki rice. Brewed in the Junmai Daiginjo style, it presents a unique taste and aroma of sake, with a soft and delicate mouthfeel and a long-lasting finish, making it a perfect sake to enjoy chilled or at room temperature.

Both of these sakes have won numerous international awards, with AWA SAKE winning multiple awards such as the 15th Feminale World Wine Competition 2021 and the Delicious Sake Award with Wine Glass. Meanwhile, the Kaika Hyougo Yamada Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo won the Junmai Daiginjo Category Platinum Award at the Kura Master 2022 and the Junmai Daiginjo B Gold Award at the 2021 US National Sake Appraisal.
