Tokubetsu Junmai Echigoikarashigawa

The Tokubetsu Junmai Echigo Ikarashigawa from Fukugao Sake Brewery in Sanjo City, Niigata, uses Gohyakumangoku rice at 60% polish for the tokubetsu pure rice expression of the brewery's Ikarashi River flagship line, the waterway whose extra-soft, sand-filtered water defines Fukugao's fermentation character. From this 1897-founded brewery, Niigata's only Sanjo-based sake producer, it delivers a clean, food-affine tokubetsu junmai shaped by the soft-water brewing tradition Niigata is famed for.
