From Kashima to the World
A Sake Brewery Transmitting Japanese Sake Culture
Established in 1934 in Kashima City, Saga Prefecture—a town renowned for its sake breweries—Sakihime Sake Brewery carries profound wishes in its name. The brewery’s trade name and flagship sake, "Sakihime" (幸姫), embody the founder’s heartfelt desire for his only daughter to lead a fulfilling and happy life.
While Saga Prefecture is celebrated for its sweet and aromatic sake production, Sakihime Brewery pursues a distinctively fresh and crisp flavor profile. This commitment to quality has earned international acclaim, with numerous awards at prestigious competitions such as the UK’s International Wine Challenge (IWC).
The brewery attracts visitors from around the globe for its immersive tours. Guests can enjoy tastings of house-made sake varieties and indulge in original non-alcoholic sake-infused soft-serve ice cream.
More than just a palace of sake craftsmanship, Sakihime Brewery lives up to its name as a place where tradition and happiness converge.
