Description
This junmai from Inoue Shuzo in Tochigi is pressed using the traditional fukuroshibori bag-press method, in which the mash is filled into cloth bags and allowed to drip under its own weight without applied pressure, yielding exceptional clarity and delicacy. An unusually high koji rice ratio of 50% drives deeper enzyme activity during fermentation, contributing pronounced umami and a rich, structured palate. The muroka (unfiltered) and honnama (unpasteurized) designations preserve the sake's raw, vibrant character straight from the pressing stage.

Igaya Shuzoten Co.,Ltd.
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.
