Sake Drip-Pressed by Gravity Alone

The Appeal and Characteristics of Fukurozuri Sumisake

Sumisake is a special craft sake born from fukurozuri, a traditional Japanese sake brewing method.

This method significantly enhances purity and flavor, achieving a unique taste that sets it apart from other Japanese sakes.
While pressing would yield more and be more efficient, our brewery deliberately employs fukurozuri.

Because it tastes better that way. Taste over efficiency.

Characteristics of Fukurozuri Sumisake

Fukurozuri Sumisake is particularly recommended due to the following characteristics:

• High Purity: The fukurozuri process yields a clearer sake, offering a smooth mouthfeel.
• Rich Aroma: The characteristics of the shubo (sake starter) and rice are fully brought out, resulting in a fruity yet refreshing aroma.
• Easy to Drink: With an exquisite balance of sweetness and acidity, it is easy for even beginners to enjoy.
• Versatility with Various Dishes: It pairs well with meat dishes, fish dishes, and snacks, enriching any mealtime.

Manufacturing Process of Fukurozuri Sumisake

We use locally sourced rice and other ingredients from producers whose faces we know.

We constantly monitor with IoT and hang the moromi in bags at the optimal time to allow the sake to drip naturally.

This method removes unwanted impurities, resulting in sake of the highest quality.

Taste of Fukurozuri Sumisake

Upon tasting, a rich sweetness initially spreads, but the subsequent acidity tightens the aftertaste, creating a flavor that never grows tiresome.

It pairs well with various dishes, making it perfect for evening drinks at home or special occasions.

How to Enjoy Fukurozuri Sumisake

The most recommended way to enjoy Fukurozuri Sumisake is chilled.

If you prefer, warming it slightly can enhance its aroma, offering a different way to enjoy it.

It is especially ideal for cherry blossom viewing, year-round banquets, and parties.
