Junmai sake from Fukumitsuya, a Kanazawa brewery with serious roots. Clean, dry, and savory enough to sit alongside grilled fish, miso-glazed eggplant, or anything from an izakaya-style spread without competing with the food.

Fukumitsuya is one of Japan's oldest sake breweries, founded in 1625 in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, a city known for its food culture and water from the Hakusan mountain range. The Tradition Junmai is rice-forward sake made without added alcohol, the defining characteristic of the Junmai grade.

It uses locally sourced rice and the soft, mineral-rich water of the Kanazawa region. Junmai has more body and a richer texture than grades with distilled alcohol added. It goes with grilled fish, miso-based dishes and izakaya-style small plates.

Aroma

Steamed rice, mild koji, gentle melon, and soft earth.

Taste

Rounded rice sweetness, light umami, subtle grain, and mild acidity.

Finish

Medium length, slightly dry, with a clean rice note.
