Enjoy it like an ancient royal

Heiankyo was the official capital of Japan that reigned for over 1,000 years in present-day Kyoto. The brewery worked with a local farm for 25 years to revive this previously extinct Kyoto sake rice called Iwai. The label is designed with temples and tradition in mind. This fruit-forward, rich and slightly dry sake is recommended chilled in a red wine glass, paired with fresh seafood or aged steak.

Masuda Tokubee Shoten

Founded in 1675, Masuda Tokubee Shoten is one of the oldest breweries in the Fushimi region of Kyoto prefecture. Water from Fushimi is often found enshrined for their healing properties, and has the perfect amount of minerals to supply a healthy, balanced fermentation. Masuda Tokubee Shoten is known for creating the first nigori sake in 1964 — a version that is cloudy and sparkling — and for having one of the oldest aged sake. The current 14th-generation owner is an international leader in representing what is inherently and historically Japanese while making sure it is in harmony with the rest of the world.
