What sake lovers are saying

  • A traditional pressing method called “funagake”

    “

    Holy cow, this is amazing. I had to opportunist to try Nama sake when I was in Japan last summer and that was what really got me into sake. There are many amazing sakes out there, but I’ve been searching for something that was as truly amazing as that original Nama sake experience and with that first sip I felt like I was back in the hills outside Takayama. Amazing

    This was amazing. The freshest, most authentic sake I may ever drink. I shared the first bottle with a friend in a small celebration. We drank it quickly, and a delayed but powerful reaction occurred not long after we finished it, which led us to opening the second bottle right away! It was a great night — thank you.
