Powerful, sparkling buzz
This undiluted, unpasteurized sparkling sake is the sparkling version of the legendary Kikusui “Funaguchi” which was the first commercially available unpasteurized sake, released in 1972. Rumor has it that the brewery had a request from the government to go easy on the marketing for this sparkling version after it was getting too many people happy in public. So we encourage you to get happy at home instead.

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