Brand Philosophy
In the mountains of Nagano, where pristine water meets generations of craftsmanship, Moon Bloom is brewed at Wakabayashi Jozo; a family-run brewery founded in 1896 and led today by 5th Generation Master Brewer, Mami Wakabayashi; the brewery’s first female Toji.
Moon Bloom was created to celebrate women in brewing and to share the artistry of traditional Japanese sake with a new generation of drinkers around the world. Every bottle reflects more than 130 years of knowledge; carefully sourced local rice, meticulous low-temperature fermentation, and a reverence for time-honored technique.
When you choose Moon Bloom, you are not simply pouring a glass of sake; you are experiencing the dedication of a master brewer, the purity of Nagano’s landscape, and a story of perseverance that has endured for over a century.
Raise your glass to craftsmanship, to legacy, and to women shaping the future of sake.
Experience Nature
Crafted in small batches by 5th Generation Master Brewer Mami Wakabayashi in Ueda, Nagano, Moon Bloom is gently cooled and slowly fermented at low temperatures to draw out refined, layered aromas. Brewed with pristine Nagano water and locally grown Miyamanishiki and Hitogokochi rice, each bottle captures the purity of its origin and the precision of a master’s hand.
A Well-Balanced Junmai Ginjo Sake
Our inaugural sake is floral, fruity and umami, with a mild sweetness, crisp finish and hints of salt and spice. Enjoy warm or chilled. Citrus and plum dominate at colder temperatures. When warmed, rich flavors like banana and melon delight the senses.
Toji Mami Wakabayashi recommends warming our sake to Nurukan, which is around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is not as hot as Atsukan, which can diminish the sake's richness and flavor. Nurukan offers a subtle warmth that allows you to enjoy the full aroma and taste of the sake without overheating it.
