Description
This Tokubetsu Junmai from Aoki Shuzo is brewed with Yamadanishiki polished to 65%, a level that retains more of the rice's outer layers to contribute body and an earthy, grain-forward character. At the Uonuma brewery established in 1717, the cold-climate environment and soft snowmelt water support a slow fermentation that draws out the natural umami of the rice at this relatively high polishing ratio.

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.
