Description

Junmaigenshu from Itakura Shuzo Co., Ltd. in Shimane is a full-strength, undiluted pure-rice sake that delivers a concentrated rice flavor and higher natural alcohol content than standard sake. The genshu designation means no water has been added after fermentation, preserving the bold, rich character that emerges directly from the fermentation vessel. Shimane's brewing tradition and cool inland water contribute depth and minerality to this robust expression.
