Fukuoka Sake

40 Fukuoka

Sake from Fukuoka Prefecture, protected by the geographical indication "Fukuoka". It is brewed with soft or moderately soft water drawn in the prefecture, using a method suited to soft water in which koji is carefully grown so the rice dissolves well; the standard describes it as complementing Fukuoka's sweet-savory dishes such as goma saba, mentaiko, motsunabe, and chikuzen-ni.
