Black is beautiful
Just like your sharpest black power outfit, the black can of Kikusui “Funaguchi” holds sake that’s a bit more sophisticated than the others in the series. This undiluted, unpasteurized sake offers just as much character and alcohol content, but with extra depth and complexity. Enjoy its luxurious mouthfeel and its rich, dry taste paired with umami-packed meat and seafood.

Savory snacks are a classic pairing with nama (unpasteurized) sake. For sake ware, we recommend simple designs that present the pure quality of sake.
