The ginjo and junmai brewing processes give it a dry taste with a crisp, mellow flavour, which is matured to give it a calm and ‘Yuyu’ taste. It is soft and shows its full potential when warmed. Excellent with sashimi and other fish dishes.

Fukumitsuya Sake Brewery, Ishikawa Japan
Fukumitsuya is Kanazawa's longest-established sake brewery, founded in 1625. In 2001, the brewery became a pure Junmaishu brewery thanks to the contract cultivation of rice since 1960, limpid brewing water from the foot of Mt Hakusan, and the traditional techniques of the brewers, who have continued to evolve while gaining cutting-edge support. Today, the company is also involved in the development of cosmetics and food products, utilising the rice fermentation technology it has cultivated over the years, and is developing directly managed shops and exports to promote sake as a part of Japanese culture both domestically and internationally.
