Description
Oyama Nishiki is a rare regional sake rice from western Japan, and Chiyoshuzou's Shinomine uses it polished to 60% for a distinctive Junmai expression. Founded in 1873 in Gose City, Nara, this brewery's exploration of rare regional rice varieties, guided by ex-winemaker Tetsuya Sakai, reflects a terroir-focused approach comparable to single-varietal wine production.
