Overview & Story: "Ore no Kame Daichi" is an ultra-exclusive, limited-edition masterpiece created through the precision of master brewing and the quiet magic of time. Brewed from Akita-grown Kame-no-o—a legendary, hard-to-cultivate heritage sake rice—and polished down to a luxurious 40%, this liquid won Gold at the 2017 National New Sake Tasting Competition and earned exceptional praise at the 2018 competition.
Since March 2018, it has been rested for 8 full years in Kikusui’s historic brick railway tunnel (built in 1900), where a natural, eco-friendly temperature of 11°C (52°F) is maintained year-round without artificial power. Despite its extensive aging, it retains the brilliant clarity of a young sake, combined with a uniquely velvety, mellow richness. This rare, limited vintage offers an exquisite flavor profile that may never be replicated again.
