Delicate aromas of ripe pear and white peach lead into Murayu's signature elegant sweetness. On the palate, the freshness of nama-zake shines through with juicy fruit-like notes and a gentle acidity that brings brightness and balance. As the flavor unfolds, soft rice-derived umami adds depth and richness, while the clean, refreshing finish leaves a lingering touch of sweetness that invites another sip.

Brewery introduction
Murayu Sake Brewery
Founded in Showa 23 (1948), we were among the first to begin sake brewing by family members. Our goal is to create sake that straightforwardly conveys the natural umami and sweetness of rice, based on a soft, well-rounded texture and a clean finish. We aim to expand the possibilities of sake with a flavor profile that breaks free from fixed notions and conventional standards.
