Description
Koikawa Junmaishu Awayamadanishiki is a Junmai brewed with Yamada Nishiki rice sourced from Yamagata's Awa district, a local interpretation of Japan's most celebrated sake rice variety. Yamada Nishiki is typically associated with Hyogo, making this Yamagata-grown version a notable regional statement. The pure-rice fermentation allows the full richness and structure of Awayamadanishiki to define the sake's profile.
