Description
Brewed by Michizakura Shuzo in Higashikawa, Hokkaido, this junmai uses Wataribune, an ancient ancestor of Yamadanishiki rice revived in modern brewing. The result is a sake with depth and a satisfying umami-driven finish, balanced by the pristine alpine waters of the Daisetsuzan range.

Hokkaido
Since its founding in Meiji 10, it has been protecting it straightforwardly.
In the 143rd year, I moved the place of sake brewing from Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture to Higashikawa -cho, Hokkaido,
Only this brewing posture does not change.
