Masumi is famous for many things
Masumi. Birthplace of Yeast No. 7.
In 1946 after sweeping the nation’s top sake awards across the board investigators found the presence of a new previously undetected strain of kobo (yeast) which was designated “Number 7”.
“Brewing Association Yeast Number Seven” soon became the favorite of brewers across the nation and remains even today the most widely used sake yeast in the world, forever cementing Masumi Brewery's legacy as one of the most important sake producers in Japan.
* For people ordering Masumi and including Tsukikoshi we ask that you make a separate order for the Tsukikoshi and choose Express freight (as this is a Nama product). Then for the rest of your order choose normal. If the total is over $150 the freight is free. (Tsukikoshi is not counted in this (apologies)). Tsukikoshi is extremely sensitive to temperature fluctuations and must be sent Express.

Masumi Tsukikoshi Junmai Ginjo
Tsukikoshi revives an ancient and little-known technique for filtering the mash that protects the sake from oxidation and preserves its natural effervescence. The result is a vibrantly fresh and aromatic sake that still has the nose-tickling fizziness of the CO2 gas produced during fermentation.

’Summer Breeze' summer sake.
Suzumi Sake has a bright acidity that highlights the freshness of summer food. It is brewed with rarely used white koji to create a bright citric acidity that pairs perfectly with summer fare like raw fish and shellfish, green salads with citrus accents, and grills of fish & fowls to pork & beef.
