Fukucho “Moon on the Water” Nama
Hiroshima prefecture
Welcome to Sake-ville
This is the seasonal, unpasteurized version of Imada Brewing Company’s Fukucho “Moon on the Water.” Fresh and effervescent, it is only available in limited quantities for a short period of time. A lively impression of key lime pie and salt make for a margarita-like experience. Its gentle umami is an excellent match for seafood such as succulent lobster. Try it side by side with the original and compare notes!

Imada Brewing Company
“Try a hundred things. Make a thousand improvements.” Imada Brewing Company lives by these words said by Senzaburo Miura, a local legend who invented the “soft water brewing method.” These days, Imada Brewing Company is one of the few breweries with a female brewmaster, President Miho Imada. She was selected for the BBC 100 Women 2020. Imada Brewing Company is also well known for reviving and using a native Hiroshima sake rice called Hattanso for the first time in around 100 years. They’ve been growing it ever since and using it to brew great sake.
