Tasting Notes

Kikusui Funaguchi Nama Genshu Original Gold Cup is an un-pasteurized, un-diluted sake offering a rich, full-bodied flavor with a refreshing finish. Experience this bold, 19% ABV sake that pioneered the Nama-sake trend.

Nama Genshu Original Gold Cup Sake presents a fat, chewy, and viscous texture. Its rich, sweet flavor profile boasts honey and yeasty tones accompanied by a fruity aroma and fresh full-bodied taste. This sake is best enjoyed chilled, allowing you to appreciate its delicate, unpasteurized nature..

The aluminum can packaging is designed to protect the delicate, unpasteurized sake from light and air. Plus, the 200ml fill reduces the air exposure inside the can. Funaguchi's high ABV also makes it perfect for mixing into creative sake-based cocktails. Age it in your fridge for a mellower, fuller flavor with a velvety mouthfeel that offers a completely different experience from when it's fresh.

Brewery Description

Founded In 1881

The name “Kikusui” derives from a Traditional Japanese Performing Art. The name, Kikusui, is made of two words – kiku, which means “chrysanthemum,” and sui, which means “water.”

In Japan, there is a traditional performing art known as Noh. In one Noh play, called Kikujido, there is a character, a mountain hermit, who drank the dew that had collected on the leaves of a chrysanthemum plant, and lived to be 700 years old. The water of the chrysanthemum gives perpetual youth and longevity, and it was from this that the Sake brand, “Kikusui,” was born.
