Fukuju is a craft sake brewery established in 1751, located in Kobe on the windy foothills of Mt. Rokko. The name Fukuju is derived from one of the Seven Lucky Gods in Japanese mythology, Fukurokuju, which means happiness (Fuku), wealth (Roku), and longevity (Ju).

Having grown immensely in popularity across the past few decades due to incredible foresight and an enthusiastic attitude to be as relevant as possible to today’s consumer needs, the Fukuju brand has transcended the Japanese market and is widely known in the international markets for its premium sakes. In 2022, Fukuju became the first brewery in the world to adopt a carbon-neutral sake brewing method resulting in the world’s first sake – Fukuju Junmai Shu Eco Zero – with zero carbon dioxide emission in the process of making the sake.

Presented by Mr. Clement Lim from The Beverage Clique Academy, guests were introduced to the rich history of Fukuju, advanced production techniques as well as their unique geological placement in the Kobe region near the Rokko mountains that has granted them access to “Miyamizu” the famous mystical water. Fukuju sakes are known to be characterised by elegance, freshness, and a great balance of mineral and fruity notes.

As the masterclass neared the end, the crown jewel of Fukuju was unveiled to much fanfare as Mr. Clement Lim commented on the rarity of obtaining such a bottle for tasting; only 100 bottles are produced globally each year. This premium Daiginjo is produced by collecting only the drops fallen from the sake bag by gravity producing an exceptional harmony of flavours with a silky-smooth texture.

With that, the Masterclass came to an end with a final toast to wish everyone happiness, wealth, and longevity. The Fukuju Sake range featured in this masterclass is currently available for orders at thebeverageporter.com
