We are pleased to announce that we have been honored with prestigious awards at the International Wine Challenge (IWC) 2025.
Established in 1984, the IWC is one of the world’s most authoritative blind tasting competitions.
This year, a total of 1,476 entries were submitted in the sake division.
We are proud to share that five of our products received Trophy Awards, the highest distinction given in each category.
Among them, Atagonomatsu Kennai Honjozo holds special significance for us.
It is a beloved honjozo sake that has long been cherished within Miyagi Prefecture and was once classified as a “First Grade” sake before the classification system was abolished.
We are deeply honored that this sake, which embodies our local heritage, has been recognized on the global stage.
We will not let this award lead to complacency.
Instead, we remain committed to pursuing even greater quality in our brewing, day by day.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support and encouragement.
