Dreamsake

Dreamsake is brewed in Hyōgo, Japan's most celebrated sake region, at a brewery founded in 1889. In 1913 it was chosen as a supplier to the Imperial Household, an honour of considerable weight in Japan, and it continues to supply sake for imperial ceremonies today.

Hyōgo matters for two reasons. It grows Yamada Nishiki, the rice variety universally regarded as the finest for brewing, and it has the Miyamizu, a mineral-rich spring water at Nada that has been prized for sake since the seventeenth century. Together they account for why the prefecture produces roughly a quarter of all Japanese sake.

The Dreamsake label was created to bring high-grade sake to a wider international audience. The brewery follows eco-conscious methods, managing water sustainably and reducing energy use, and the range concentrates on the cleaner, more delicate styles that suit drinkers approaching sake for the first time.
