Nico Japanese Rice Vodka is crafted from the exquisite rice varieties typically reserved for high-class sake. Its story begins at the Takamasamune distillery, established in 1935. Drawing on generations of master brewing heritage and the underground waters of the Mino mountain range, the distillers dared to challenge tradition. High-quality rice undergoes a precise multi-stage fermentation, followed by advanced distillation to capture the absolute purity of the raw materials. The spirit is then aged for at least six years in steel tanks and filtered through white birch charcoal for unmistakable mildness.
