Born’s pure rice sake is made without additives and is polished to the limit. The ice temperature aging process creates a distinctive smooth mouthfeel and rich aroma. Born sake is highly regarded both at home and abroad for its quality, such as being chosen as the Grand Prix of Emperor Showa and as a toast at state banquets, and has completed trademark registration in over 100 countries and has been exported to over 40 countries.
The TEXSOM Awards are known not only for providing trends and new developments in the wine industry, but also for raising the importance of education and wine evaluation.

The results of both wine and sake will be an opportunity to gain international recognition and respect, which will be a great stimulus for sake breweries looking to further improve their quality.(Mr. Bacchus)
