MIYOSHIKIKU NECO WAKA 三芳菊 ネコと和解せよ 無濾過 生原酒 720ml
Brewed by Miyoshikiku Shuzo (三芳菊酒造) in Tokushima Prefecture, Neco Waka (ネコと和解せよ, “Make Peace with the Cat”) is an unfiltered, unpasteurised, undiluted sake that defies convention and bursts with attitude.
As a Muroka Nama Genshu, it’s bottled straight from the tank — no filtration, no dilution, no pasteurisation — capturing the raw, electric energy of fermentation. Expect explosive aromas of tropical fruit, yogurt, ripe melon, and lychee, with juicy acidity and a slightly fizzy texture that dances across the palate.
Every sip is bold, bright, and utterly alive — a cult favourite among sake adventurers.
