Contemporary-Traditional Japanese Beverages

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Kay Sake is a Contemporary Take on Japanese Tradition

— December 4, 2024 — Marketing
Introducing 'Kay Sake,' a premium Junmai Daiginjo sake crafted to bring a modern twist to the traditional Japanese beverage. Produced at the esteemed Aumont Brewery in Niigata, Japan, this gluten-free, sulphite-free aperitif is made with three high-quality ingredients: water, malted rice, and yeast.

Designed for versatility, Kay Sake can be enjoyed neat, over ice, or as a low-alcohol alternative in cocktails. Each bottle reflects the terroir of Niigata’s Kaji River region, where clean air, crisp water, and snowy winters provide the ideal environment for meticulous sake crafting. The result is a smooth, natural flavor profile with notes of fresh green apple, pear, and a subtle umami finish.

With its sleek branding and refined taste, Kay Sake demystifies sake for Western consumers, making it a standout addition to any aperitif menu or home bar.
