Description

This daiginjo from Inoue Shuzo in Tochigi Prefecture represents the premium tier of the brewery's lineup, with rice polished to at least 50% to achieve the category's characteristic elegance. Tochigi's brewing culture benefits from access to clean water from the Nasu highland region and locally grown sake rice, supporting expressive ginjo aromas. The daiginjo grade demands meticulous temperature control during fermentation, yielding a sake with refined floral notes and a clean, trailing finish.

Nagano
From ordinary sake to Daiginjo, we consistently make sake in the same process. Limited water absorption and small -crew, etc. are all the customer's "delicious", so the sake is put in the sake of the brewer.
