Fukuda Sake Brewery

Founded in the first year of the Genroku era  (1688), the brewery stands in the port town of Shijiki-cho, Hirado City, where the words of its founder, Chojibeemon Fukuda, "Sake  brewing is done with heart, and nurtured by the wind," still resonate  today. The 15th-generation brewery owner, Tatsuya Fukuda, is preserving  tradition while embracing new challenges, aiming to brew sake that embodies  the unique beauty of Shijiki Bay, a precious and unparalleled sea in southern  Hirado. The sake is carefully bottled as unfiltered and undiluted to avoid  placing stress on it after pressing, and undergoes quick pasteurization in  the bottle to create a fine natural effervescence. Its sake is a unique  expression of Shijiki Bay, delicate yet dynamic. The refined flavor, created  to pair perfectly with seafood, has been rebranded from the original label  "FUKUDA" to the new "FUKUUMI" further elevating its  brilliance. With ongoing research into marine lactic acid bacteria from  Hirado's seawater, future developments are not to be missed.
