Fans of strong drinks find a friend in Kikusui’s original “Funaguchi” Nama Genshu. Unpasteurized and undiluted, this sake is bursting with full-bodied flavor and 19% ABV. Pop open an ice-cold can at the end of a long day and be greeted by the unique taste of steamed rice, roasted hazelnuts and tropical fruit. Like a heavyweight prizefighter, this bold sake can hold its own with fatty and intensely flavored foods, such as cheeseburgers and Szechuan cuisine.
