"二兎(Nito)" is a new brand that was born in December 2015 with the desire to have "Maruishi" sake enjoyed by people outside Aichi prefecture. Based on the concept of "chasing two hares, and catching neither," Nito creates the best balance and flavor by using two contradictory elements such as "taste and aroma," "sour and delicious," "heavy and light," "sweet and spicy," "initial taste and aftertaste," "complexity and beauty."

The common features of Nito are "freshness," "good aftertaste," and "fusion with food." Freshness creates a smooth and stable taste throughout the four-act structure, and a good aftertaste demands the next cup with a satisfying end to a pleasant story. When enjoying Nito, first try it alone, and then try it with food. Pairing with food elevates Nito to new heights.

Nito shows various expressions depending on "interaction with air," "passage of time," and "change of temperature." Nito aims to be a sake that shines by drinking one bottle rather than by drinking one cup.
