Celebrating the rice flavors

This sake is made with Iwai sake rice grown without agricultural chemicals by a contract farmer in Kyoto. It has been carefully nurtured to preserve its rich, mellow flavor and natural sweetness, while still focusing on freshness. We recommend enjoying this in a shallow, wide-rimmed cup to help savor every sip and hit the wide parts of your palate, or a thin glass if enjoying it chilled.

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.
