준마이슈 아즈마노후모토

The core Junmai from Azumanofumoto in Nanyo, Yamagata uses Dewa Sansan rice polished to 55%, the prefecture's purpose-developed sake rice, to produce a clean, honest pure rice sake from a brewery with ten consecutive national gold medals. Founded in 1896 at the foot of a regional shrine, it embodies the straightforward quality that Yamagata's sake tradition prizes.
