Kitanokirameki - Junmai Ginjo sake from Kunimare Sake Brewery, Hokkaido
Description

Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 50% forms the base of this junmai ginjo from Hokkaido's northernmost sake-producing town of Mashike. Brewed with ultra-soft snowmelt water from the Shokanbetsu mountain range, it develops a delicate sweetness on the palate with a gentle lingering richness typical of cold-climate fermentation.

Kunimare Sake Brewery

Hokkaido
Kuniki was born from the growing area, which flourished as a crannal place for herring fishing since the late Edo period. It was the founding that we started making sake for the Yang people working at the fishing grounds. Mashimashiri, which has long been blessed with good quality water, is known as a place where Kita -mae ships prefer to replenish drinking water. "Kuniki" is a sake that has been raised by the rich nature and the products of the Sannai products. Ishizo and stores in the Meiji and Taisho era, which are caught in the historic cityscape, are nostalgic and calm. We will continue to make sake with our heart so that many people can be patronized as a hairy local sake. Please drop in.
