Tsukimaru is produced by Nishioka-Kawamura Shuzo in Echizen, Fukui Prefecture, a region with a long tradition of sake brewing shaped by the cold winters of the Japan Sea coast. The Tsukimaru junmai is the brewery's most widely recognized expression, built around the full flavor of locally grown Fukui rice with a rounded sweetness and balanced acidity that performs across a wide range of temperatures from chilled to warm. Its versatile character has made it a steady favorite among local sake drinkers in the Fukui region.
