Est.: c. 1702/1745

Key Feature: Deeply traditional brewing techniques utilizing the pristine soft water of "The Water Capital," Hita.

Brand Philosophy: Kuncho is committed to preserving centuries-old, handmade sake methods, resulting in a rich, complex, and full-bodied flavor profile often absent in modern sake. They still brew within historic Edo-period buildings

(c. 1826), offering a true taste of Japanese brewing heritage.

Perfect for:

Connoisseurs seeking a traditional, artisanal sake with complexity and depth.
