In March 1983, the first American-made “Sho Chiku Bai” sake was released as “Sho Chiku Bai Classic Junmai Sake.” During the commemoration, then president Takashi Omiya said the following: “We had no intention to sell our product until we were fully satisfied with it. This time we created a sake product that is on par with its Japanese counterpart.” The quality and taste of this extraordinary sake easily became the flagship product for Takara Sake USA, since its introduction. Our award-winning Sho Chiku Bai Classic Junmai Sake is the definition of exquisite sake made in the USA.
