Tasting Notes

Born Dreams Come True Junmai Daiginjo is an exceptionally rich, five-year-aged sake with a powerful yet composed aromatic profile. Its full-bodied palate combines concentrated rice umami, gentle sweetness, and a luxurious, silky texture, while the long cold maturation lends exceptional integration and depth. Despite its richness, the finish is precise, clean, and sword-like, leaving the palate refreshed. Serve chilled to highlight its structure and smoothness. Pair with delicate Japanese cuisine, buttery seafood, creamy cheeses, and dishes prepared with olive oil.

Overview

Founded in 1860 in Fukui Prefecture, Kato Kichibee Shoten has carried the Kichibee name through eleven generations. The brewery registered Born as a trademark in 1866; derived from Sanskrit, the name evokes purity and truth while reflecting the belief that dedicated work is ultimately rewarded.

Born Dreams Come True, or Yume wa Masayume, is a sake of aspiration and fulfillment—chosen both when making a wish and when celebrating its realization. Its distinctive handmade 1,000ml bottle is designed as a trophy honoring life’s “one and only” victor. Five years of subzero maturation give the sake the depth, polish, and long, clean finish fitting for milestones, achievements, and meaningful gifts.
