Description
Minanogawa Honnama Junmai Ginjo takes its name from the Minano River near Mount Tsukuba in Ibaraki, a waterway with poetic associations in classical Japanese literature. Honnama indicates a single pasteurization at bottling rather than the standard two-step heat treatment, preserving more of the sake's fresh, lively aroma while providing adequate stability for distribution. The junmai ginjo base, brewed without added distilled alcohol, offers a clean, fruit-forward fragrance grounded in Ibaraki's local rice and water.

Inaba Shuzo Jo
Ibaraki
Inaba Sake Brewery is a sake brewery that always challenges new sake brewing based on traditional sake brewing.
In the winter brewing season, you go to the store that is frozen many times in the middle of the night, looking at the whisper of moromi.
At that time, the starry sky that looks up.
The beauty of the earth's stars (Setara), and the mystery of the nature created by koji and yeast is prepared with awe and gratitude.
