Matsunohana

Matsunohana(松の花) is a sake brand crafted by Kawashima Shuzo Co.,Ltd in Shiga, Japan. Explore their full lineup of 21 sakes on OneSip.

Kawashima Shuzo was founded in 1865 on the shore of Lake Biwa in Takashima, Shiga Prefecture, and takes its brand name Matsunohana, meaning flower of the pine, from a pine tree that stood on the brewery's land before construction began. Using abundant groundwater from the Hira Mountains and locally grown sake rice, the brewery practices traditional winter-only kanzukuri brewing, seeking to produce sake with minimal intrusive character so it complements rather than competes with food. Over more than 150 years of production, Matsunohana has developed a reputation for clean, non-tiring sake that pairs broadly across Japanese cuisine.
