Matsushiroichiban Junmai

Description

Matsushiroichiban Junmai is a pure-rice sake named after Matsushiro, a historic district in Nagano City known for its castle town heritage and samurai culture, with the ichiban designation meaning 'number one' signaling this as the brewery's flagship or top-ranked expression. Brewed without added distilled alcohol, the junmai classification ensures the sake's body and flavor come entirely from rice and fermentation, producing a clean, rice-forward profile with natural umami. Nagano's clean mountain water and cool climate support a smooth, balanced junmai character with modest acidity.

Matsushiro Miyasakashuzoten Co.,Ltd

Nagano
The Miyasaka Sake Brewery is the only brewery in Matsushiro, who started the brewing industry at the current location in the Meiji era and continued without a bridge during the Showa Great War. From 2010, the company name was changed to "Matsushiro Miyasaka Sake Brewery Co., Ltd.", and the trade name has been changed, and the teaching "telling the old days to the present" with a unique texture is protected, and the sake quality full of personality suitable for Matsushiro, a castle town that uses rice suitable for sake. We sell original products that outsource brewing to the brewing of the brewing, and inherit sake with dignified beauty.
