Mantensei “Star Filled Sky”
Tottori prefecture
Rich and riveting
This sake is named for a lovely flowering plant that is a symbol for the town where the brewery is located. Aged for two years after brewing, this sake’s rich umami spreads throughout a soft mouthfeel, in the same way the depth of the night sky is blessed with the soft glow of stars. For the best result, serve warm to bring out an apple pie sweetness.

Suwa Brewing Company
Founded in 1859 and named for the shrine located behind the brewery, Suwa Brewing Company lives in harmony with one of the most beautiful villages, which is home to flying squirrels! They believe that properly matured junmai sake served hot with good food brings happiness. Their ideology revolves around two sayings from brewmaster Kiso Narukawa: “In sake brewing, the sky is limitless,” and, “We are first-year students every year.” These ideas represent the fact that there is always more to learn and that brewing can always be refined, modified and expanded without bounds.
