The results for “Kura Master 2026,” the prestigious Japanese sake competition held in France, were announced this morning. We are thrilled to share that our “Kiseki no Sake Junmai Daiginjo Omachi ‘Nippon Banzai'” has been awarded the Platinum Medal in the Junmai Daiginjo category!

In addition, “Sanzen Daiginjo Yamadanishki 35” has also won the Gold Medal in the Daiginjo category.

The panel of judges consists of top French professionals, including sommeliers, beverage specialists, restaurateurs, chefs, and culinary educators. A key focus of this competition is the French tradition of “food and beverage pairing.” We are truly honored that our sake has been recognized in France, a country with such a deeply established culinary heritage.

All of us at the brewery are greatly encouraged by these awards. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our customers for your continued support. We will remain dedicated to crafting sake that you can enjoy in a variety of occasions.
