Description

From the historic post-town of Uchiko in Ehime Prefecture on Shikoku island, Yagi Shuzobu has operated since 1831, producing sake that repeatedly earns national recognition for precision and elegance. World's best sommelier Paolo Basso awarded their junmai ginjo a near-perfect 9.9 out of 10. The Tokubetsu Junmai centers on Matsuyama Mii, a rare heirloom rice cultivar indigenous to Ehime and notoriously difficult to cultivate, polished with care and brewed with soft mountain water from the Uchiko highlands. Light-bodied and aromatic, with subtle melon and a gentle sweetness balanced by a clean, sharp finish, it speaks clearly of the terroir that shaped it.

Yagi-Shuzobu

Ehime
At the beginning of the company, we manufactured cotton and soy sauce. About 100 years after its founding, in 1935, the store was relocated to Asahimachi, which is said to be the best water in the city. During the war, the warehouse was burnt down, but it has overcome difficulties with traditional power and has reached today. In the sake of liquor, the founder, Harubei Yagi, made the name "Tambaya" in his hometown, and that the crest and the sharpness of the sake were used as the famous sword "Masamune", and said "Sanatan Masamune". It is.
