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.

Nigata
Uma cervejaria com 300 anos de história em Uonuma, terra de neve. Fundada em 1717, o sake da Aoki Sake Brewery, representado pelo 'Kakurei', é criado pelas graças do país das neves e pela técnica tradicional dos mestres de Echigo. Entre os sakes de Niigata, onde predomina o estilo 'Tanrei seco', busca-se o 'Tanrei-kuchi' que preserva o sabor original do arroz de sake, herdando esse gosto para os próximos 100 anos.
