Masuda Tokubee

Fushimi, Kyoto

The Masuda Tokubee Brewery was founded prior to 1675 and is known for its Nigorizake throughout Japan. As one of the oldest breweries in Fushimi (Kyoto), it provides supplies to the Imperial Court amongst other notable places, and it relaunched sparkling sake, a rather fledgling product in the production of sake.

The Masuda Tokubee Brewery is known throughout Japan as the originator of Nigorizake. Compared with most sake, unfiltered Nigorizake is not pasteurised before bottling. This allows the season to have an influence on the product, and it lends Nigorizake its unique character. This aktive Nigori went on sale in Japan for the first time in 1961, and throughout the country, the different levels of quality are very popular.
