Brewery: Kiku Masamune Sake
Founded: 1659
Profile: In April of 2016, for the very first time in 130 years, Kiku Masamune launched the new brand "Hyaku Moku" named for the Japanese idiom that expresses the profound impact of "100 Silences". The brand is driven by a modern concept of complementing all kinds of food, which is in contrast with the smooth, dry flavor that Kiku Masamune is known for. The initial launch was limited to 400 restaurants in Hyogo prefecture. This is a popular souvenir at the Kiku Masamune Sake Brewery Museum.
