Amabuki Ginjo

Amabuki Ginjo is brewed at Amabuki Shuzo, a 300-year-old brewery in Saga that built its reputation on using yeasts isolated from flowers including strawberry blossoms, pink nadeshiko, and sunflowers rather than conventional commercial strains. The ginjo grade requires a rice polishing ratio of at least 60%, and Amabuki's flower-yeast approach imparts delicate floral and fruity aromatic notes that define the brewery's recognizable house style. Rice is grown under the aigamo duck-farming system on the Saga plain, and water comes from the soft springs of the Sefuri range.
