Tamaasahi Shinshujunmai Usunigori Howaito - Junmai sake from Tamaasahi Shuzo Co.,Ltd, Toyama
Description

Tamaasahi Shuzo, Toyama Prefecture's oldest operating brewery since 1808, draws soft water from the Joganji River underground aquifer and cultivates its yeasts from alpine flowers and tulip pollen collected in the surrounding mountains. One hundred percent Toyama-grown rice, polished to 65%, is brewed by hand in small batches with no concession to scale. The Usunigori White leaves fine rice lees in suspension for a light, creamy cloudiness. On the nose: melon, soursop, and coconut water. On the palate: creamy, gentle lychee depth with a roasted nori finish that recalls the mountain origin of every ingredient in the glass.

Toyama
Founded 1808. As one of the long -established sake brewery in Toyama Prefecture, since its founding, it has been providing drasty sake mainly for local customers. We are located in Yao -cho, Toyama City in the southwestern part of Toyama City, which is famous for "Echinaka Yao Owara Kaze no Bon". The sake brewing uses the soft water groundwater of the Juganji River, which is the blessing of the Northern Alps Tateyama Mountain Range, the use of the sake rice is used in Toyama prefecture, all Toyama people are all Toyama, and all of the water, rice, and people are particular about Toyama Prefecture. I am. Our ideal is to make a sincere sake brewing so that you can handle handmade items directly to customers without mass production. We aim for a memorable taste, such as the impression of seeing the Owara -style tray up close. Developing new products under the concept of "Sake in sake, the world can be more delicious" to explore the potential of sake for new needs while following the diversification of eating habits in recent years. I am actively going. A refreshing and elegant Ginjo sake, a pure rice that shines in hot, and a raw liquor with a scented scent. Tamasa's sake is perfect for all dishes, not only Japanese food, but also Western food, Chinese, ethnic, and all dishes. Pour into a glass and enjoy "Tama Asahi" and a mariage of cooking.
