Sake is brewed from rice, water, yeast, and koji mold. You've probably heard it called "Japanese rice wine," and while that's a common shorthand, sake is really its own thing entirely. The brewing process, the flavor, the experience. There’s nothing else quite like it.

Yes, it is. No wheat, no barley, no gluten. With only four ingredients — rice, water, yeast, and koji mold — Kubota sake is naturally gluten-free.

Yes. All Kubota sakes are vegan and contain no animal-derived ingredients.

Cold is a good place to start, especially with our Junmai Daiginjo. Some styles hold up beautifully at room temperature. A few open up nicely when gently warmed. Check the product page, pour it however you like, and feel free to try something new.

If you keep it refrigerated, you’ve got seven to ten days to enjoy it at peak flavor and quality.

Sushi, seafood, grilled meats, cheese. Honestly, almost anything you want. Kubota sakes have a clean finish that goes well with whatever’s on the table.
