Fukucho Seaside Sparkling
“If you have your back to the water and stare up into the hills, the coastline of Hiroshima is dotted with lemon farms.

Kikusui Kunko Funaguchi
Black Can from Niigata
“The nose on Black aka "Kunko" is a clean rice and mineral mix. This is the least “premium” of the cans, but it tastes cleaner and more compact – elegant – than the others. The balance is the first thing that hits the palate. It is not as huge and impactful as the Gold, Red, and Green cans, and it drinks even from first sip to the tail. There is a gentle sweetness but that plays second fiddle to the clean feeling and there is no kick. There are no mood swings with Black just a gentle nama “unpasteurized” drinking experience that is far more balanced than the other cans.” - True Sake
