Product details

Kitaya Ai No Hime Beni—meaning “Love Princess” in Japanese—is a charming red sparkling sake brewed by the historic Kitaya Brewery in Fukuoka’s Yame region. Founded over 190 years ago, Kitaya has earned a reputation for crafting sake that expresses elegance, balance, and terroir. Ai No Hime Beni is a bottle-fermented sparkling sake made using 65% polished Gin no Sato rice and a rare ingredient: red koji (Beni Koji). This unique brewing method not only gives the sake its natural rosé-like hue, but also imparts a subtle complexity and fruity brightness. With its low alcohol content and graceful effervescence, it’s an ideal choice for celebratory toasts or as a refreshing aperitif.

The palate of Ai No Hime Beni is perfectly effervescent, offering a delicate sweetness and clean structure. Rice-forward flavors meet vibrant citrus fruit overtones, creating a refreshing and light-bodied experience that finishes crisp and clean. Aromatically, the sake is fruity and inviting—subtly hinting at red berries and tangy citrus. Its playful sparkle and approachable profile make it especially well-suited for pairing with light appetizers, sushi, fresh salads, or fruit-based desserts. It also shines alongside creamy cheeses or lightly spiced Asian fare, bringing both color and charm to any table.
