    Overview


    Kikkawa Jozo is a sake brewery located in Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, approximately 2,057 meters from Tsurumaki Onsen Station.
     Its opening hours are from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM and from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, Monday to Saturday, with Sundays and public holidays being closed.
     It is advisable to check the opening hours and holidays before visiting.
    The brewery is known for its flagship product, "Amaguri". 
    "Amaguri" is a sake made using the local edible rice variety "Harumi," which is highly regarded for its uniqueness.
     Notably, the new product "Amaguri THE SEA CHANGE" has been crafted as a test brew, showcasing flavors inspired by the local natural environment.
     This sake is smooth and easy to drink, with a perfect balance of acidity and umami.
     Additionally, it has an alcohol content of 13%, making it lighter while still captivating a wide audience with its distinct flavor.
    At Kikkawa Jozo, tasting is available; however, caution is advised for those driving.
     Engaging with the staff can provide insights into recommended products, encouraging customers to feel free to ask questions.
     Furthermore, the brewery is committed to challenging traditional methods, achieving great flavors even with a rice polishing ratio of 90%.
     Such innovative approaches are a testament to why many customers support the brand.
    There is also a focus on food pairings, as the sake has a pronounced sake flavor that pairs well with fatty meats and white fish.
     Enjoying it alongside a meal enhances the experience even more.
    While Kikkawa Jozo previously had the traditional "Kikuyu" brand, it is now primarily focused on "Amaguri."
     This shift reflects not only adaptation to new times but also the emergence of new values and innovations in technology.
     I highly recommend visiting to savor their unique sake.
