Aiyama Junmai Daiginjo, the second in the popular and rare black label series of "Amego no Tsuki". Aiyama was first used by the Takagi Shuzo brewery in Yamagata Prefecture, which produces Jyushiyo, and this led to an increase in the number of breweries making Aiyama sake. This rice is grown in Yoshikawa-cho, Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, and is produced in fairly small quantities. It is also famous as a very difficult rice to handle, and the fact that Aizan can be used to make beautiful sake is a testament to its high brewing technology. In fact, "Aizan" has become a brand name, and sake made from it is very popular. The label is impressive, with a black moon (new moon) shining in silver, representing "the challenge of a new moon after the rain. It has a sweet, refreshing ginjo aroma and a round sweetness that comes from a moderate body. The sweetness does not linger in the aftertaste, but changes to a soft spiciness.
