The following is the website of the sake brewer:

香川の地酒 日本酒の蔵元「金陵」こんぴらさんの御神酒醸造元

Located in Kagawa Prefecture, it appears to be a leading sake brewer in the prefecture. It provides information in Japanese only. They have Kinryo sake in a wide variety of grades.

HTH!

Thanks! Wow, I spent a whole day, about two years ago, trying to find out about this sake.

Can you tell which product I have from the picture?

Do they give an email address?

Thanks!

The sake is the photo is: 窶ｹﾃ?窶氾仰 窶怒ﾂ湘ｸ窶伉｢ ﾂ辛ﾅ津ｻﾂ（窶ｰﾃ?ﾂ静ｯﾂ）
Name: Kinryo
Grade: Honjouzou / Karakuchi
Price: 1,692 yen (1800ml bottle)

FYI, the price for its very top grade is 10,000 yen plus for the same-size bottle.

The company accepts direct orders at this website but appears not to ship overseas. It offers no information on overseas shipping. Still, I found an email address:
[email protected]
(I'm not sure whether this email address is for the brewer itself. It might be a sake restaurant that it is operating. Also, there is no guarantee that they understand English.)

If you really want it, I think the best bet is to have someone living in Japan to place the order, accept the delivery and then ship the bottles to you in the UK.

Hope it helps!

I will email them and hope they speak english.
