Aged to perfection
Brewed with Yamadanishiki rice, this junmai daiginjo is aged for 1,000 days at low temperatures. This aging process gives the sake a nutty aroma, which is followed by a rich, dry flavor. On the palate there are notes of walnuts, honey and clove. It’s recommended you serve this sake in a large wine glass so that you can relish the complex notes. Also take in its ornate kabuki label.

Fukumitsuya
Fukumitsuya was founded in 1625 near Mount Haku. The rainfall on these mountains soaks into the ground and flows into an underground spring that is used by Fukumitsuya in brewing. The brewers use this water in combination with just rice and microorganisms to produce only junmai sake, out of respect for the origins of sake brewing. Fukumitsuya’s “Kagatobi” brand is named for the local fire brigade from the Edo period (1603-1868), and represents the spirit and strength of Fukumitsuya’s sake. This spirit stands at the core of the brewery, and it’s present in all their sake.
Customer reviews
Amazing presentation but just not a fan of the more earthy/nutty flavored sakes.
Very smooth.. served chilled with lobster grilled cheese sandwiches.
Delicious! Starts with a rich earthy flavor and the honey slowly comes out with a sharp finish.
Very funky sake, amber color, lots of umami and mushroom flavors, taste of Koji and raisins, very interesting.
Nutty, sweet masterpiece of a sake. Delicious through and through.
Lots of complexity and flavors in this sake. It's a very nice tasting bottle overall. The price is justified.
Where to even begin! This is the most amazing nihonshu I have had the pleasure to taste to this day! Nose: dairy butter, wild grains, and fragrant plum/cherry blossoms. Mouthfeel: dry and very rounded Taste: sweet raisins, wild grain, delicate cherry blossoms Color: amber Recommended serving temperature: room temperature An absolute masterpiece I still cant believe what I’m tasting (there’s still more hidden under there... walnuts as well?) this is Kody W. Approved all the way!
