Description
Founded in 1717, Aoki Shuzo has refined the Kakurei house style around the concept of tanrei-umakuchi, seeking the clean delicacy of Niigata sake while preserving the natural sweetness and umami of the rice. This chokarakuchi (super-dry) junmai pushes the balance toward a bold dryness, reflecting the strong, salt-seasoned local cuisine of Uonuma that has historically driven demand for assertive sake.

Aoki Shuzo Co.,Ltd
Nigata
A sake brewery with a history of 300 years in Uonuma, a snowy country. Founded 2 years (1717). Aoki Sake Brewery's sake, which is represented by "crane -age", is created by the various grace of the snowy country and the traditional technique of Echigo Mori. Among the Niigata sake, which has many "Tanrei dry", we will aim to make the sake brewing of "Tanrei -kuchi", which leaves the original taste of sake rice, and inherits the taste for the next 100 years.
