The name Kikusui refers to the chrysanthemum dew celebrated in the Noh story Kikujidō as a source of longevity. After rebuilding its brewery in 1969, Kikusui replaced the traditional tōji hierarchy with an integrated production team and continued investing in research, controlled brewing, and modern quality systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKikusui received Japan’s first USDA National Organic Program certification for domestically brewed organic sake in 2007. This bottling is made from organic Koshihikari grown at a dedicated site in Agano and brewed at the Setsugoro Brewery, where access, equipment, ingredients, and production scheduling are carefully controlled to prevent contact with non-organic sake. Since 2009, Kikusui has also contributed a portion of its organic sake sales to a local organization working to preserve the Kajikawa River environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe lightly chilled at approximately 10 to 12 degrees Celsius in a small white-wine glass or traditional ochoko to emphasize its floral fragrance and clean texture.
