Junmai Ginjo Kansansui

Junmai Ginjo Kansansui from Kitaya Co., Ltd in Fukuoka shares its name with the brewery's celebrated daiginjo, both drawing from the 'cold mountain water' of the Asakura region as their defining characteristic. At the junmai ginjo level, the rice is polished to at least 40 percent, offering an accessible entry into Kitaya's aromatic, water-forward style without the extreme refinement of the daiginjo tier. The emphasis on pure mountain water as a flavor driver reflects Fukuoka's broader terroir-conscious brewing culture.
