In fact, Matsumoto is also known as a wine lover.
Like natural handmade wine produced by small wineries around the world, he claims
"Sake of sake that can compete in the world from Tosa Town", and in recent years he is focusing on sake for western food such as French cuisine and desserts as chocolate, his sake brewing is developing in light of the changing environment surrounding culinary culture, where sake has potential bringing revolutionary richness to culinary enjoyment and is more than just for Japanese food.
