Kirei Shuzo is situated in the town of Saijo in Higashi-Hiroshima. Saijo is blessed with an abundance of ideal sake brewing water, with one particular narrow strip of land having the purest water in the region. This water along with cool brewing conditions in Saijo help Kirei Shuzo create wonderfully dry sake with a unique depth of flavour.

The Tōji (Master Brewer) at Kirei is Masahiro Nishigaki. The 'Kirei 92' is an exceptional sake crafted from rice only polished to 92% of its original size. It is the immense skill and attention to detail from Nishigaki-san that allows this sake to be so well balanced yet complex. A bold yet refined sake that shows a hint of toffee, barley and an elegant woodyness with a long flavourful finish.
