Kirinzan Haruzake

Kirinzan Haruzake, meaning spring sake, is a seasonal ginjo release from Kirinzan Shuzo in Niigata, bottled to celebrate the transition from the cold brewing season into warmer months. Niigata's brewing tradition centers on clean, dry sake supported by soft snowmelt water, and this spring release maintains that characteristic lightness while introducing a slightly fresher, more vibrant seasonal character. The ginjo classification, with rice milled to at least 60 percent, ensures a fragrant, approachable profile suited to the gentle warmth and renewal of the spring season.
