Dewazakura Ouka Ginjoshu Honnama - Ginjo sake from Dewazakura Sake Brewery Co., Ltd., Yamagata
Description

The pioneer of ginjo sake, “Oka Ginjoshu”, is bottled raw without any heat sterilization. In 1982, Dewazakura's challenge to ship unpasteurized sake began with the desire to enjoy unpasteurized sake that could only be tasted at the brewery throughout the year. Even in the middle of summer, we will always deliver it to everyone in the best condition by refrigerating equipment of minus 5 degrees.

Dewazakura Sake Brewery Co., Ltd.

Yamagata
Shogi pieces, Ide Yunosato and Maizuruyama of Tendo are covered with cherry blossoms in full bloom in the spring. Dewa Sakura, founded in Meiji 25, was named by the first generation Seijiro Nakano after his longing for this spring. This Dewa Sakura is blessed with the warm humanity, rice, water, and rich nature, with overwhelming local support backed by high quality, local -oriented and appropriate prices, and from all over the country. It has been until I drink love. For many years, we have been making Ginjo sake and have been evaluated as "Ginjo Sake Pioneer". In addition, it has been shipped worldwide, with more than 60 cities in 30 countries and many people overseas. "I want you to know the goodness of sake." With this feeling, we will continue to brew it by hand.
