Sommelier's comment

Using rare sake rice and divine power, we brewed sake with a strong flavor using the traditional Yamahai method. As it ages, you can feel the sweet aroma of melon and spices like white pepper. It has an elegant taste with a soft sweetness surrounding the acidity.


Brewed by: Funaki Sake Brewery

Founded in 1866 Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture

Funaki Sake Brewery uses underground water from the Kuzuryu River flowing from Mt. Hakusan, a famous mountain in Hokuriku. The rice fields surrounding the brewery are fertile, and high-quality rice such as Gohyakumangoku, which is suitable for sake brewing, can be harvested. With a small batch of hand-made sake, we have continued to produce beautiful sake that is easy to pair with food every year, mainly using Junmai sake.
