Description
Using Yamadanishiki rice polished to 37%, this Junmai Daiginjo from Aoki Shuzo represents the pinnacle of the Kakurei range, produced at the brewery's home in Uonuma, a district renowned across Japan for the quality of its rice and the purity of its snowmelt water. Aoki Shuzo, which has brewed continuously since 1717 under twelve generations of the same family, crafts this expression to showcase both high floral aroma and the gentle rice umami that distinguishes Kakurei from other Niigata houses.

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.
