Description

Onozakura is the core junmai label of Yamauchi Shuzoujou in Gifu's Nakatsugawa, polished to 55% and brewed to a smooth, clean profile with light acidity and a gently dry, slightly bitter finish. The brewery's female toji brings a precise, controlled approach to this small-lot production. Specific rice variety is not publicly listed.
