Reward yourself after a long day’s work

Because of the brewery’s close relationship with the harbor and fishermen, they vowed to continue to provide this flavorful sake for the community at a reasonable price. That is why they sell this as “futsushu” (table sake) in Japan, even though it actually fulfills premium honjozo category requirements. The deep flavors and balanced sweetness are meant to provide relief to your hard day, and warmed up, will relax your soul.

Naba Shoten

Naba Shoten was started by a merchant serving the regional lord. The merchant constructed a silk waving business in the area, and subsequently a sake research facility in the beginning of the 19th century. The merchant’s family would eventually make soy sauce and miso paste along with sake, and create Naba Shoten, and establish a kimono business as well; their kimono trade name “Masuya” dates back to 400 hundred years earlier. To this day, their treasured heritage is their multi-level concrete brewing facility, completed in 1928 with conveyor belts and elevators, at a time when others were still milling rice using water mills.
