Nagano Matsumoto Breweries

Matsumoto City uses clear water from the Northern Alps and the large inland temperature swings to produce sake with a well-defined aroma and flavor profile. Many sake here balance clean acidity and full, expanding umami, maintaining their character equally well cold or warm. Pairing with Shinshu soba, Sanzoku-yaki chicken, and miso-culture cuisine brings out the sake's layered depth.
