ADDITIONAL INFO
We are the one and only sake brewery in Iida City, in the southern part of Nagano, Japan. In 1944, 38 local breweries consolidated into one and Kikusui Brewery was born. We use underground water from the Central Alps of Japan’s mountains, which is partially sourced by Sarukura no izumi, one of the top 100 natural waters in Japan.
Henpei Seimai is a unique rice milling method used for Blue Stag 7. The Henpei method effectively removes the unnecessary parts while retaining as much starch as possible. This milling method takes longer, but it makes Blue Stag 7 rich & clear and leaves it full of Umami flavor.
Blue Stag 7 is made from local sake rice called Takane Nishiki. The safety and quality of the rice are guaranteed. Takane Nishiki, Henpei Seimai, and the water from Japan Alps make Blue Stag 7 unique and tasty, yet it's reasonably priced!
Reviewers praise Kikusui Blue Stag 7 Junmai Sake for its polished, food-forward character — clean rice umami, gentle sweetness, and a balanced acidity that makes it one of the most versatile sake styles for pairing with diverse cuisines. It earns recognition from sake drinkers for the quality and refinement that Kikusui consistently delivers, with the Blue Stag offering an approachable entry point into Junmai appreciation. Most reviewers note its reliability and enjoyability whether served warm or chilled. A well-crafted Junmai sake that earns its position as a go-to bottle for sake enthusiasts.
