Founded in 1883 in Sanbu City, Chiba Prefecture, Kankiku Brewery is located in the Kujukuri Hama region, just steps from the Pacific Ocean. The brewery is dedicated to achieving the ultimate in "freshness," with the vast majority of its brews being shipped as "unfiltered raw sake," showcasing an amazingly juicy fruit aroma accompanied by a light, subtle carbonation. Among its offerings, the "Ocean 99" and "Discovery" series, reflecting seasonal aesthetics, perfectly blend the seaside terroir of Kujukuri Hama with modern design, making Kankiku highly sought after by contemporary sake enthusiasts. 

"Kankiku" is a renowned sake brand that has seen a surge in popularity in Chiba Prefecture in recent years. Its "Occasional" series is a limited-edition line brewed only once a year. Because all its sake is "unfiltered raw sake," it boasts a prominent flavor and rich complexity, making it a must-try for many sake enthusiasts every year. "Red Diamond" is brewed with "Aiyama," a dream-grade sake rice known as the "diamond of sake rice." Its 50% rice polishing ratio makes the sake cleaner and smoother. Sake lovers who enjoy "smoked sake" should grab it now! Upon opening, it releases a fragrant aroma reminiscent of peaches. The taste is juicy and smooth. Because it hasn't undergone any adjustments after brewing, it has a noticeable effervescence, a mellow rice flavor, a long finish with a hint of fruity acidity, and an overall rich and complex flavor profile—sweet and delicious! It's perfect for enjoying chilled with salads, seafood, sushi, or sashimi.

A rich and complex flavor profile with elegant fruit aromas and a slightly carbonated finish.

Pairing: Ideal for pairing with chilled seafood and sashimi, or enjoyed at around 15 degrees Celsius with fried tortillas, skewers, etc.
