Hokuyo Junmai Ginjokizake Etchukaiko Shuka

Hokuyo Junmai Ginjo Kizake Etchukaiko Shuka is a seasonal summer raw sake from Honjo Shuzo in Toyama, part of the Etchukaiko series named for nostalgic scenes of Etchu Province (Toyama's historical name), with Shuka referring to the vibrant heat and energy of summer. Brewed as a pure rice ginjo without pasteurization, this kizake is designed to be enjoyed fresh and cold, showcasing the clean, slightly dry style that Toyama brewing is known for. The brewery's access to Tateyama mountain snowmelt water and cool fermentation conditions contribute a crisp, bright quality to this warm-weather release.
