Sommelier's comment

Using rare sake rice and Shinriki, we brewed sake with a solid taste using the traditional method of mountain abandonment. As it ages, it has a sweet aroma of melon and spices like white pepper. An elegant taste with a soft sweetness that wraps the acid.


Brewer: Funaki Shujo

Founded 1866 Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture

Funaki Shujo uses the underground water of the Kuzuryu River, which flows from the famous Hokuriku mountain, Mt. Haku. Rice fields spread all around the brewery, and in the fertile countryside, you can get good quality rice such as Gohyakumangoku, which is suitable for sake brewing. We have repeated every year to make beautiful sake that is easy to match with dishes, mainly pure rice sake, with small handmade preparations.
