Fukuju “Green”
Hyogo prefecture
Inspired by mother nature
Inspired by the abundant nature of Mount Rokko and the calming scent of greenery, Fukuju “Green” is like taking a breath of mountain air - clean, crisp, invigorating. Made from Yamadanishiki rice and mineral-rich Mount Rokko water, this sake has a dry, fun and complex style. Fresh acidity and an aroma of green herbs flow into a sharp finish, each sip better than the last. Pair with creamy, cheesy dishes.
