Shichiken

The sake that fills the cup is clear and soft. With a single sip, a crisp mouthfeel and gentle umami spread comfortably through the palate. Shichiken is brewed by Yamanashi Meijo in Hakushu, Hokuto City. Its origins date back to 1750 (Kan'en 3), when the Kitahara family, who were engaged in brewing in Takato, Shinshu, fell in love with the soft water of Hakushu and established their brewery at Daigahara on the Koshu Kaido. The name "Shichiken" was derived from a decorative transom featuring the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove," which was gifted by the Lord of Takato Castle in 1835 (Tenpo 6). The brewing water is the underground water from Mount Kaikomagatake—a soft water so smooth it feels almost velvety. A single cup that embodies the famous waters of Hakushu. It is a renowned sake of Yamanashi, also known as a pioneer of sparkling sake.
