NAKAMURA BREWERY

 

Nichiei Sake, Glory of the Sun

Alongside the great Mount Hakusan in Ishikawa, Japan is Chef Kevin Cory's family's sake brewery, Nakamura Shuzou 中村酒造 established since the 1800's. The heart of our Nichiei Sake is the first grade sake rice, Yamada Nishiki and Gohyakumangoku. Our Yamada Nishiki rice is lovingly brewed by sake masters in the rural Noto, Ishikawa peninsula during the very cold winters to bring out a rich taste and smooth texture.

JONA Certification, Organic

THE FIRST ORGANIC SAKE AROUND THE WORLD

In Japan, organic JAS is an organic standard of agricultural products (raw materials), organic certification in alcoholic beverages requires the certification of a domestic organic certification organization separately. Nakamura Brewery's AKIRA sake has been certified by JONA (Japan Organic & Natural foods Association) in 2001 and is being reviewed and renewed annually.

In addition, in 2007 it was certified by European ICEA (later changed to EU certification), USDA certification in 2010, Canada COR certification in 2014, and certified organic in various parts of the world.
