About
In the Edo period, Matsui's sake crossed the sea aboard two ships, the Hachimanmaru and the Tenjinmaru. The brand Fujichitose, used since the brewery's founding, is said to have been named to pray for safe voyages to the sacred Mount Fuji and to wish customers a thousand years of happiness. This winter-only namazake requires careful handling. It continues to ferment in the bottle, so it has a gentle, fizzy, lightly sparkling character. Please savor the living yeast. ※Originated with the Setsubun Festival of Yoshida Shrine; omiki (sacred sake) offered at the Setsubun Festival. ※Limited quantities; sold in winter only.
