[New Release] 'Koshiji Fubuki Super Dry Junmai Sake' Focusing on Crispness and Refreshment to be Released on June 1, 2026

Takano Shuzo Co., Ltd. (Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture) will release 'Koshiji Fubuki Super Dry Junmai Sake' as a new addition to its flagship 'Koshiji Fubuki' brand nationwide on June 1, 2026. Despite its extreme dryness with a sake meter value of +18, it balances this with the rich, natural umami of rice that spreads gently the moment it enters the mouth. Developed to meet the growing demand for 'clean, dry' sake that does not interfere with food flavors, this is the ultimate food-pairing sake. Made with 100% Niigata-grown rice, it features a clear taste without off-flavors and a beautiful, crisp finish. It pairs well not only with Japanese dishes like sashimi and tempura but also with oily meat dishes and Chinese cuisine. It can be enjoyed in various ways, from cold (around 10°C) to warm (around 40°C); chilling highlights its crispness, while warming brings out the rice's umami. Takano Shuzo has been practicing traditional sake brewing since its founding in 1899, and this new product embodies that philosophy.
