Iwamiginzan Junmai Ginjo Sakanishiki

Iwamiginzan Junmai Ginjo Sakanishiki from Ichinomiya Shuzo uses Sakanishiki, a sake rice variety developed within Shimane Prefecture to suit the region's specific climate and water conditions, offering a locally rooted alternative to widely used national varieties like Yamada Nishiki. The junmai ginjo designation ensures pure-rice brewing at a polishing ratio of at least 60 percent, allowing Sakanishiki's inherent character to express itself through a clean, moderately aromatic profile. This expression from Oda City showcases Shimane's agricultural self-reliance and dedication to region-specific sake rice cultivation.
