"Funaguchi" is a truly fresh sake which is not subjected to either pasteurization or blending.
Since the draft sake is delicate, we had to solve various problems before we could commercialize it.
With our technology developed through the tradition and the enthusiasm for brewing, we strenuously solved each problem, and after trial and error, we were at last able to commercialize the draft sake in 1972. Funaguchi has an alcohol content of 19% which is slightly higher compared with the average sake.
Being rich yet light in taste, Funaguchi presents slightly different mature tastes as it deepens its maturation in a can, fresh our of the brewery, six months later, and one year later.
Since it was placed in the market in convenient aluminum cans, Funaguchi has been constantly popular and it now has many fans throughout Japan.

Can, courtesy of faroeviking. Funny can, looking just like a can of corn or mushrooms, where you pull the entire top of. Not very suitable for drinking or pouring. The sake has a clear body without any color, and without carbonation or head. Dry and fruity nose with some alcohol and yeast, papery and rice-like notes in the back. Alcohol-sweet flavor with some yeast up front, rice and paper in the background. Warming and dry. Except for the too obvious alcohol, it’s a quite nice drink. 090822
