Who we are
Île Four is a young, innovative company that has set itself the goal to turn Premium Sake and similar great products into popular elements of Western culture. Île Four is also a team of Sake Lovers and Sake Experts that combine deep knowledge of the product with an understanding of the needs and wants of a western audience. We break with preconceived notions of how things ‘ought to be’ and we strongly believe that the things that really count are the quality of products and the enjoyment they provide to the consumer!
Therefore we propose a modern image for a very traditional product and we aim to help western customers understand what is truly great about our Sake: the amazing purity of a drink that consists solely of rice that has been polished to the bare, super pure core, soft protected well water and traditional brewing agents, and the utterly surprising refined complexity and smoothness that our experienced master craftsmen coax from these ingredients. Try our Premium Sake and it will change your mind.

Île Four präsentiert Sake erfrischend anders
Mit Île Four schickt sich ein risikofreudiger Unternehmer und Japan-Liebhaber an, Sake in die Sprache der Europäer zu übersetzen. Keine exotischen Schriftzeichen auf der Flasche, keine komplizierten Erklärungen - Île Four möchte es dem Gegenüber einfach machen."
