SAKE HUNDRED’s flagship sake, Byakko, is an artisan sake achieved, in part, through the painstaking work of brewers polishing ingredient rice to just 18% — a nearly unheard-of ratio in the sake world — to bring unparalleled quality and clarity of flavor to the finished product.

With Byakko Bespoke, Byakko’s usual Dewasansan ingredient rice is substituted with Yamadanishiki, a coveted crop known as “the King of Sake Rice.” Through this substitution, and a rearranged strain of fermentation yeasts, Byakko Bespoke presents a wholly new balance of sweet, tart and umami that challenges notions of sake potential.

Light to last 100 years

As our flagship in the highest sake quality, we created Byakko with the idea of bringing light to drinkers’ lives for 100 years and beyond. Byakko promises a light to illuminate your future, perfect for celebrations, well-wishes and a portent of luck for future endeavors.

The Ideal of Balance and Clarity

On pouring, Byakko Bespoke’s appearance is clear and crystalline, with a faintly gold shimmer when held to light. Its aroma boasts sophisticated nuance of herbs and fruits, like white pear and peach. On drinking, Byakko Bespoke presents a creamy, smooth and rounded mouthfeel that spreads with a gentle tartness, then a pleasant alcoholic bite that gives way to tart and bitter to tie the experience together. Byakko Bespoke is best imbibed at 5-10℃°（41-50°F）, directly from refrigerated storage for an elegant presentation of flavors and aromas.
