Junmaishu Yukinotowada

Junmaishu Yukinotowada is a pure rice sake from Hokushika Shuzo in Odate, Akita, named after Lake Towada near the Akita-Aomori border, which symbolizes the pristine natural environment of the northern Tohoku mountains. Made from 100% Akita-grown rice with an emphasis on capturing the natural sweetness and umami of quality local grain, this sake is described as having gentle sweetness and a mild, approachable rice character. Hokushika's cold-climate brewing expertise and Akita's agricultural heritage combine in this everyday junmai that reflects the regional flavor identity of northern Tohoku.
