Light and luscious

The sake lees in this silky “nama” (unpasteurized sake) provide a delectable flavor of rice, with a touch of yogurt-like sweetness. Its citrusy acidity and slight effervescence comes from its lack of pasteurization, which cuts the lactic flavor for a crisp aftertaste. Taken with its aroma of apple and pear, “Silky Wave” is both light enough and creamy enough to pair wonderfully with dishes like white fish meunière and Margherita pizza.

Honke Matsuura

Founded back in 1804, Honke Matsuura traces the roots of its founder back to a pirate group, the Matsuura Party. Fortunately for us the founder turned to sake making, inspired by the luscious lotus fields, elegant flocks of storks and Yamadanishiki rice crop that grows on the slopes of the nearby Sanuki Mountains. These mountains also provide the water used for brewing, so each sip you take is a taste of the local environment. Honke Matsuura supports its local community by using rice from the surrounding Tokushima Prefecture and is committed to the health and happiness of its brewers.
