Description
Matsunotsukasa Junmai Ginjo is the core pure-rice ginjo expression from Matsuse Shuzo, a brewery founded in 1860 in Ryuo Town, Shiga, and a foundational pillar of the brewery's lineup that has established the house style for balanced, food-friendly sake. Contract-grown rice milled to ginjo standards and fermented at low temperature with the brewery's proprietary yeast produces a clean, moderately aromatic profile with soft floral notes and natural rice umami. Shiga's soft, mineral-light water from deep below the Suzuka mountain range underpins the smooth, rounded finish.

Matsuse Sake Brewery
Shiga
I always want to be myself in the sake brewing of "Matsunoji". In order to be a "pine boss", it starts with local ingredients such as liquor rice grown locally and water that sucks from 120m underground. Thanks to the land of Ryuo -cho, we are carefully sake brewing so that you can feel the atmosphere of the warehouse and the spread of rural areas.
