Description
Brewed in Niigata's snow country from Gohyakumangoku and Koshiibuki rice, this honjozo is made with just five ingredients: rice, water, koji, yeast, and a touch of brewer's alcohol. Notes of vanilla, cream, and nougat rise from the glass, leading into a light, dry palate typical of the karakuchi, or extra dry, style. Proceeds from the bottle support local mountain rescue efforts, a nod to the snow spirit for which the sake is named.

A sake brewery with a history of 300 years in Uonuma, a snowy country. Founded 2 years (1717). Aoki Sake Brewery's sake, which is represented by "crane -age", is created by the various grace of the snowy country and the traditional technique of Echigo Mori. Among the Niigata sake, which has many "Tanrei dry", we will aim to make the sake brewing of "Tanrei -kuchi", which leaves the original taste of sake rice, and inherits the taste for the next 100 years.
