Shizuoka Sake: fruity, aromatic ginjo from proprietary Shizuoka yeast
fruity, aromatic ginjo from proprietary Shizuoka yeast

Shizuoka is celebrated for its distinctive ginjo style, driven by a proprietary yeast developed by the prefectural research institute. Shizuoka yeast produces vivid fruity aromas — especially apple and melon notes — and the region's ultra-soft Mt. Fuji water makes for exceptional brewing.
