Description
Polished to 55%, this Tokubetsu Junmai uses Yamadanishiki to occupy the mid-range of Aoki Shuzo's lineup, where the grain retains enough of its outer layers to provide substance while the polishing still allows for the aromatic clarity associated with premium Kakurei expressions. The Uonuma brewery, established in 1717 and operating through twelve generations, applies cold-climate fermentation to coax both depth and delicacy from one of Japan's most recognized sake rice varieties.

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.
