About Kikusui Sake Company
With 130 years of history on their shoulders, the Kikusui Sake Company of Niigata prefecture built themselves up from the bottom. The name “Kikusui” is a reference to a Noh theatre play, wherein the dew (Sui) from the petals of chrysanthemums (Kiku) grants eternal life.
In 2004 they established the Kikusui Sake Research Institute in an effort to both raise the bar on the quality of their offerings and wrestle with concepts such as enjoyment of sake, and sake culture. They are proud to produce “Funaguchi” – Japan’s first commercially available Nama (unpasteurized) sake.
About the Nama Genshu Style
Nama Genshu is a type of sake that is unpasteurized and undiluted. Nama means unpasteurized and genshu means undiluted. Most sakes are pasteurized twice and diluted with water to lower the alcohol content. Nama Genshu is bottled directly after fermentation without any additional processing. This results in a richer flavor and a gorgeous aroma.
