Organic junmai sake from Fukumitsuya, one of the older breweries in Ishikawa Prefecture, in Kanazawa. Junmai means no added alcohol. It has pure rice character and enough weight for grilled fish, tofu hot pot and dashi dishes.

Fukumitsuya is one of the oldest breweries in Kanazawa, in Ishikawa Prefecture on the Sea of Japan coast, with records dating to 1625. It uses soft, mineral-rich water from the Hakusan mountain range. Kagatobi Organic Junmai is brewed with certified organic rice.

As a Junmai, it has no added distilled alcohol, so the flavour comes from rice, water, koji mold and yeast. It has texture and savory depth in the Kanazawa house style, drier and more structured than sweeter regional styles. Fukumitsuya has a long-standing commitment to natural and additive-free production.

It goes with grilled fish, tofu dishes and mild aged cheeses.

Aroma

Clean rice, gentle earthiness, steamed grain, and soft melon.
