The KAGATOBI Brand Heritage:

The brand name "KAGATOBI" comes from the elite firefighters serving the Kaga domain's Edo mansion. In old Edo, these firefighters were renowned for their impressive strength, firefighting skills, and fighting prowess. They were a popular and gallant group throughout the city's districts.

The brand's logo, featuring clouds and lightning on the firefighters' uniform, represents both the spirit of the Kaga Tobi firefighters and the sake's robust character. The brand concept is "iki" (sophistication), with a focus on crisp finish. Rather than being simply dry, it maintains the essential umami character of sake while achieving a clean, dry finish. Through the rigorous pursuit of junmai brewing techniques, Kaga Tobi has expanded the realm of delicious sake.
