About
This sake was named Fukuchitose, with the wish that happiness (fuku) would continue for a thousand years (chitose), meaning forever. Holding to the conviction that the true umami of sake can only be brewed through yamahai (traditional yeast-starter method) brewing, the brewery has devoted itself to traditional yamahai brewing to the point that yamahai is synonymous with Fukuchitose. Its sake has won numerous awards both in Japan and abroad. This junmai daiginjo is brewed to bring together the best of the brewery's tradition and technique. Its rounded, full-bodied flavor and refined aroma, characteristic of yamahai brewing, fill the palate. It pairs wonderfully not only with Japanese cuisine such as sushi, but also with French and Italian food.
