Fujioka Shuzo is a very small brewery in Kyoto with Mr. Fujioka personally overseeing each step of the labor and time-intensive process to produce a truly handmade sake. In 2002, 5th generation Masaaki Fujioka re-opened the brewery establishing the new Sake brand SOOKUU aiming to brew a Sake with its taste reflecting a gentle "clear blue sky" (transl. "sookuu'). Fushimi is nationally known in Japan for its refined water that gives SOOKUU its distinctive silky taste.
ENTER.Sake was founded by music producer & DJ Richie Hawtin to bring Japanese premium Sake to a new generation of international costumers in restaurants, music clubs & festivals. The evolving collection of Sakes is hand made by five different breweries in Japan and exported to Europe & North America.
