The MIZUBASHO Artist Series is a collaborative project with artists who support the Oze Mizubasho Project. We are asking artists to draw the Mizubasho flower and reflect it in the label design. By bringing art to Japanese sake we aim to create added value. The first artist is actor Tsurutaro Kataoka. He has a long history of projects with the town of Kusatsu in Gunma Prefecture, including the Tsurutaro Kataoka Museum of Art managed by the Kusatsu Hotel. Tsurutaro himself has been drinking MIZUBASHO sake for many years.

Floral Sparkling
2020 Tsurutaro Kataoka
This sparkling sake has floral notes reminiscent of the pretty white flowers of the Mizubasho. We made it in a casual style by using our unique in-bottle secondary fermentation technology that has evolved from many years of research. The soft, silky foam is in harmony with the flavors of white peach and apple.

2020 Tsurutaro Kataoka
Our still sake has a sweet lychee-like mouthfeel with hints of grapefruit and a smooth, light taste. We aimed to create a sake to enjoy casually with a variety of dishes and pair gently with a wide range of flavors.
