Product details
Crafted with the essence of tradition and innovation, Fukuju Blue Junmai Ginjo Sake embodies the spirit of happiness, wealth, and longevity. Rooted in the Nada region of Kobe, Japan—renowned for its premium sake—this exquisite brew reflects over 270 years of dedication to the art of sake making. The Rokko Mountain's unique terroir provides the perfect conditions: extreme temperature swings for cultivating superior sake rice, pure mountain water (Miyamizu) for balanced minerality, and cool southern winds that slow fermentation for a smooth, refined taste. Each bottle of Fukuju sake is a harmonious blend of heritage, natural bounty, and cutting-edge brewing techniques, making it the ideal choice for celebrating life's most joyful moments.
Fukuju Blue Junmai Ginjo offers a crystal-clear appearance and an aromatic bouquet that evolves over time. Its initial notes of apricot, yellow peach, marshmallow, and roasted sweet potato gradually transform into butter cream, Japanese pepper, and linden honey. The palate reveals a deep, rich flavor with layers of umami and a long, elegant finish reminiscent of Darjeeling second flush tea. Perfectly paired with grilled salmon in hazelnut butter, bamboo shoot cream croquette, pumpkin tart, or Tanba free-range chicken ballotine, this sake elevates any dining experience into a celebration of flavor and fortune.
