SHIMANTO SILVER is the first dry Junmai sake from Fumimoto Brewery in Shimanto, crafted to capture the clarity and sharpness of the famous Shimanto River. Brewed using 100% locally grown Niida rice and the pure, soft waters that flow through the region, this sake offers a clean, transparent flavour with a refreshing dryness that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
Its profile is straightforward yet elegant: light aromas, a smooth entry, and a crisp finish that makes each sip feel refreshing. SHIMANTO SILVER is the kind of sake you can enjoy casually with meals or savour on its own when you want something clean and uncomplicated.
Perfect with simple Japanese dishes, grilled fish, fresh vegetables, or anything that calls for a bright and dry companion.
About Fumimoto Brewery
Founded in 1903, Fumimoto Brewery stands on the banks of the Shimanto River in Kochi Prefecture — a region known for the clear, gentle flow of what many call the last pristine river in Japan. As the last remaining sake brewery in the Kubokawa area, Fumimoto carries a strong commitment to preserving local craftsmanship and culture.
At the heart of their philosophy is the idea of celebratory sake — a drink that brings people together in moments of joy, connection, and good health. Their concept, “The Pursuit of Banzai Sake,” reflects the ancient Japanese toast wishing for long life and prosperity. For Fumimoto, sake is something that creates flow and connection, much like the Shimanto River itself.
Using locally grown Niida rice and the pure river water, they craft sake that highlights both the uniqueness of the region and the sincerity of their brewing. Blending tradition with a modern outlook, Fumimoto aims to share the warmth of Shimanto with people across Japan and beyond.
