Established in 1675, Tsuki no Katsura, the oldest brewery in Fushimi, has upheld its storied legacy through 14 generations of the Masuda family. In 1964, they pioneered Nigori-sake, a distinctive, roughly filtered, and milky sake, earning national acclaim.

Nigori-sake, known as the “sparkling sake,” owes its effervescence to being bottled mid-fermentation.
Tsukino Katsura also boasts Japan’s oldest aged sake, Koshu, aged 50 years. Their commitment to innovation extends to cultivating unique sake rice, Iwai, in collaboration with Kyoto’s rice farmers. They made history by producing Junmai Daiginjo Nigori-sake, a beloved choice internationally.

This classic nigori sake is the essence of tradition and innovation.
With its soft, fruity aroma, this pure white elixir delights the senses, offering a refreshing, soothing sourness. It harmoniously combines sweet richness, subtle bitterness, a yoghurt like freshness and fine effervescent bubbles. Ideal for pairings like hot pot and Sukiyaki, it elevates ingredients’ flavors, from sashimi’s freshness to cold tofu’s silkiness. Versatile, it complements Chinese stir-fries and crispy fried dishes.
