Sommelier's comment

Junmai sake brewed using kimoto-zukuri using the prefecture's raw material ``Shinriki.'' It has a caramel-like aroma typical of aged sake, star anise-like spices, and a sweet and gorgeous aroma of ripe fruit.It is characterized by the acidity and pleasant sweetness that can only be found in raw sake.

Brewed by: Funaki Sake Brewery

Founded in 1866 Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture

Funaki Sake Brewery uses underground water from the Kuzuryu River, which flows from Mt. Hakusan, a famous mountain in Hokuriku, as its brewing water. 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.
