Fuku Chitose Yamahai Happy Owl Junmai Sake 720ml

Founded in 1849, the Tajima Brewery is managed by the 6th generation of the family. The brewery specializes in the production of yamahai sake. This traditional yamahai method of brewing sake takes 3 times longer than modern methods, but it gives the sake an exceptionally layered and complex flavor. The Tajima family named their sake Fuku Chitose to express their wish that their sake will always bring happiness to those who drink it. Fuku means “happiness” while chitose means “forever”. This yamahai junmai has savory aromas of pumpkin and spices with complex earthy flavors. The finish is dry and long lasting. Serve chilled or warmed to room temperature. Enjoy with cured meats, grilled meats and vegetable, and nutty cheeses.
