Description
On December 15, 2016, a Japan-Russia summit meeting took place, and the venue was the prestigious traditional hot spring inn "Daitanisou" in Nagato City. The sake that was consumed during this meeting was "Ichiban Matsumoto." Produced by Sumikawa Sake Brewery, located in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, this sake is a junmai daiginjo made from Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 40%. It is an elegant sake that beautifully balances the flavor of the rice with a clear acidity.

Located at the northernmost tip of Yamaguchi prefecture, which is rich in nature, it is the 100th year since its founding in 2021.
Under the motto of the royal road brewing that does not pretend to be a royal road, we are facing sake brewing every day aiming for sake like "water that has passed through rice".
