- Kikusui “Funaguchi” KunkoFutsushu
Funaguchi Kunko is the premium tier of Kikusui's canned nama genshu lineup. Undiluted and unpasteurized, it has a richer, more layered character than the original Funaguchi—drier and more complex, with a full mouthfeel and a profile that rewards pairing with strongly flavored foods. The canned format keeps it fresh and portable while the content punches above the futsushu classification.
Bold Umami Forward Unpasteurized - Kikusui “Funaguchi”Ginjo
Kikusui's original Funaguchi is a nama genshu in canned format: unpasteurized, undiluted, and at 19% ABV. Its flavor is full and dense, with steamed rice, toasted nut, and tropical fruit notes that hold their own against bold, fatty, or spicy dishes. This is not a delicate sake—it is built for situations where you want something with real presence.
