In the mountains of Kumamoto Prefecture, there is an elementary school nearby a nature-rich valley full of delicious rice and clear water. This former elementary school is now being used as a brewery by a Kumamoto sake maker in this unique environment. This brewery, Bishonen, is now in the SAKEYOI lineup.
These products are made with a sharp focus on water, rice, air, technique, and flavor. They have won famous awards in Japan as well as in numerous other countries around the world.

Brewery Detail

Bishonen brews sake in the halls of the former Suigen Elementary School, a school with a 130-year history situated in the mountains of Kikuchi in Kumamoto Prefecture on the island of Kyushu.
As a representative brand, Bishonen has a long history of brewing sake that dates from the Edo era.
Known for their characteristic rich flavor, Bishonen sources their water from the nature-rich Kikuchi Gorge in Kumamoto Prefecture. This natural water along with the brewing techniques passed on throughout the generations between each brewmaster and brewery worker has protected their distinctive flavor, making them a sake brand representative of Japan and loved by people all across Japan.

Focus #1: [Water] Sake brewed in the beautiful nature of Kikuchi.
Kikuchi Gorge has been selected as one of the top 100 remarkable waters of Japan as well as one of the top 100 forest water sources. Bishonen is the closest sake brewery to Kikuchi Gorge and uses its water for the brewing of sake. The use of this mineral-filled water provides an energy source for the koji and yeast used to make sake and plays a role in encouraging fermentation.
Focus #2: [Rice] Superior rice is grown in the fertile soil of Kikuchi
The Kikuchi River and its tributaries in the city of Kikuchi that nurture the fertile soil along with the sake breweries nearby make this area famous for rice across Japan.
Bishonen uses the superior Higomai rice of Kikuchi to brew sake.
Focus #3: [Air] Abundant nature surrounded by green and rice fields.
The difference in temperature during each season and the abundant natural water resources makes this a rich land for cultivating excellent rice. The city of Kikuchi has ideal weather conditions for brewing sake as well as land blessed by nature.
Focus #4: [Technique] Carrying on traditions with techniques refined by brewery staff
Rice and water infuses life into sake.
Air temperature, humidity, and climate come together, and skilled techniques are used to pursue deliciousness by very subtly changing the temperature and time during brewing.
Focus #5: [Flavor] Sake that is refined, gentle, and reminds you of the good times.
This carefully and gently brewed sake has a rich fragrance and will fill your mouth with a lingering flavor of fine rice.
The focus is on brewing Japanese sake that expresses the beauty of sake in itself, allows the flavors of the ingredients to be enjoyed, and enhances the cuisine it is paired with.
