Matsushiroichiban Junmai

Matsushiroichiban Junmai is a pure-rice sake named after Matsushiro, a historic district in Nagano City known for its castle town heritage and samurai culture, with the ichiban designation meaning 'number one' signaling this as the brewery's flagship or top-ranked expression. Brewed without added distilled alcohol, the junmai classification ensures the sake's body and flavor come entirely from rice and fermentation, producing a clean, rice-forward profile with natural umami. Nagano's clean mountain water and cool climate support a smooth, balanced junmai character with modest acidity.
