Description
Brewed with Iwate-grown Ginotome rice polished to 65%, this junmai is aged through the summer in the constant cool and humidity of the Kanayama mine tunnel at roughly 13°C. The tunnel maturation rounds out the rice's natural umami and gives the sake a gentle, soft mouthfeel with a clean, crisp finish.

Tsukinowa-Shuzoten Co., Ltd
Iwate
Founded in 1886 in Shiwa -cho, Shiwa -gun, Iwate Prefecture, the birthplace of Nambu Mori. For generations, the owner has been conducting sake brewing as an owner who also serves as a borit, and the fifth generation Yuko Yokosawa, now the foundation, is the brewery. He continues to have this philosophy "as a family, not a company, but as a family business," and always sets his goal of inheritance of tradition and technological innovation. The rice is mainly used in Iwate's sake brewing, "Gintome", "Gin Ginkin", and "Kono no Ka", and prepare it with soft water (underwater water in the Kitakami River). The aim is to have a solid and gentle flavor in a clear and gentle flavor.
