Kumamoto Breweries

Kumamoto benefits from the abundant aquifer water of the Aso volcanic caldera to brew a richly sweet sake with generous rice umami and a rounded body. Local rice Mori no Kumassan contributes a fragrant, full flavor. The sake's roundness complements horse-meat sashimi, karashi-renkon (spicy lotus root), and Taiheiyen noodle soup.
