Description
Himenoi is a junmai ginjo from Iwa Shuzo in Niigata's Takayanagi area, brewed using locally grown rice and the clean, soft water characteristic of the Niigata mountains. The name Himenoi (princess well) likely refers to a local spring or water source central to the brewery's identity. This junmai ginjo delivers the elegant, light, and clean style that Niigata brewers have cultivated over generations, with gentle ginjo aromas and a refined, dry finish.
