Like a candy apple

Sweet, refined and a little tart, sipping this seasonal junmai daiginjo is like biting into an adult candy apple. First, an aroma akin to young bananas and red apples lures you in. Bottling immediately after pressing allows the sake to maintain a fresh, juicy acidity. The traditional, labor-intensive kimoto method used to brew it imparts a yogurt-like flavor, and its youthful sweetness is balanced by a touch of bitterness.

Fujii Brewing Company

Fujii Brewing Company was established in 1863 by Zenshichi, who chose the location in Takehara, Hiroshima prefecture, for its access to high-quality water. Zenshichi knew what he was doing, as the brewery is still going strong today using their underground water source. With great respect for the history of sake brewing, the brewers at Fujii Brewing Company endeavor to make sake with a deep flavor that doesn’t use added ingredients like lactic acid and enzymes. In doing so, they are able to build on the traditional brewing process, and aim to pass on their knowledge to the generations that come after them.
