Description
Yamadanishiki, often called the king of sake rice, brings pronounced floral aromas and a naturally rich flavor that sets this Kakurei Junmai Ginjo apart from Aoki Shuzo's expressions made with Niigata-local varieties. Brewed in the snowbound Uonuma region where the brewery has operated since 1717, the Hyogo-sourced Yamadanishiki provides structure and depth that complement the delicate, umami-focused house style.

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.
