Uzensakuragawa(羽前桜川) is a sake brand crafted by Nozawa Shuzoten Co.,Ltd in Yamagata, Japan. Explore their full lineup of 10 sakes on OneSip.

Uzensakuragawa is brewed in Oguni Town, in the Iide Mountain Range foothills of southwestern Yamagata Prefecture, by a brewery that traces its roots to 1706. The sake benefits from a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters, with snowmelt from the surrounding mountains providing the brewing water. Reviewers consistently describe the sake as transparent and food-friendly, with a clean, restrained character that allows rice umami to speak without asserting prominent aroma.
