Natsuko Monogatari

Natsuko Monogatari is an iconic brand of Kusumi Shuzo named after the legendary manga 'Natsuko no Sake.' It conveys the emotion and passion of the grand story based on the brewery's real story of resurrecting the extinct miraculous sake rice 'Kamenoo.'
Using the pure water of Niigata and raw material rice carefully grown by the brewers, it is brewed with care for the simple umami inherent in rice. A sip brings to mind the rural landscape where golden rice ears sway and the thoughts of people who dedicated their passion to brewing, characterized by a somewhat nostalgic and warm flavor. It is a bottle that has moved many people's hearts beyond the framework of sake, making one feel the weight of history.
