Dai Shichi Saké Brewery Est. 1752
Tohoku, Japan
New to our Family
Established in 1752, Dai Shichi is based in Tohoku, northeast Japan. We craft rich, mellow sakés
whose outstanding reputation comes from an insistence on a strictly orthodox brewing tradition:
the kimoto method. All of our products are superb examples of kimoto saké.
Above all else, we seek depth of flavour: saké that grows and matures over time,
flowering into exceptional quality. We continue to cherish hand-crafted brewing techniques
that combine the best of nature's bounty with our own expertise and experience.

Situated between The north and south Japanese alps, Mars Shinshu
is Japan’s highest whisky distillery at nearly 800 meters. The Hombo family
have been distilling for more than a century and they added Whisky
to their repertoire in 1949 in Kagoshima. That was the southernmost whisky
made in Japan until 1984, when all whisky production was moved
to the current location in Nagano.
