Four centuries in Kanazawa
The brewery that chose honesty over convenience.
Founded in 1625 in the samurai city of Kanazawa, Fukumitsuya has brewed beside the same spring for four centuries. In an era of shortcuts and additives, the brewery chose a more exacting path.
Since 2001, every sake made here has been Junmai: rice, koji and water only. No added alcohol. No compromise.
“Tradition is the continuation of revolution.”
Kanazawa & 百年水
One hundred years underground.
Rain and snow from sacred Mt. Hakusan travel slowly through ancient shell-rich strata before reaching the brewery. The journey gives this naturally filtered water the minerals essential for fermentation.
純米蔵 / Junmai-gura
The principle behind every drop.
Nature provides the rice, water and microorganisms. The brewer's task is to listen, respond and draw out their finest expression.
Pure rice
Rice, koji and water. Nothing added, and nothing taken away.
Contract rice
Direct relationships with specialist growers, cultivated from the soil up.
Aged sake
Research begun in 1959 revealed how patience deepens character.
Shokunin-damashii / Craftsman's spirit
Where five senses replace machines.
Brewers watch, listen, touch, smell and taste. Technology supports the work, but never replaces the intuition that turns rice and water into sake.
