"A small producer established in 2015 after its founder returned from nine years promoting sake abroad and set out to create a more globally accessible product: a lemon-flavoured sparkling sake with the look and feel of champagne called Mikado Lemon. The operation sources fruit from local growers and cultivates its own lemons, emphasizes provenance and landscape in its branding and bottle design, has begun attracting attention within the region, and is planning broader distribution across Asia, Europe and the Americas — with a stated aim of encouraging visitors to experience the island scenery and flavours that go into every bottle." - Tom Miyagawa Coulton
