Description

Morikuni the only sake brewery on Shodo Island, a small island just between Shikoku Island and the Southern Coast of Honshu. Here, their sake is produced by a team of three – two women (one of whom is the president and owner of the brewery) who work under the tutelage of a toji from the Tajima Guild. They strive to pursue research in new technologies such as specialized yeast while preserving the tradition of handcrafted sake brewing. They value individuality and strive to create products with unique characteristics through the use of native ingredients, and by brewing their various brands in the image of Shodo Island.

Food Pairing

Lovely as a premeal aperitif, and has the structure to stand up in a cocktail as well. As a pairing, it goes well with fish dishes such as sakura sea bream carpaccio, sea urchin pasta, and milt tempura. Outside of Japanese cuisine, leaning into Italian classics makes sense – ricotta, pesto, roasted zucchini – but also can hold up to sweets such as zabaglione or apple pie.
