Smooth and easy to drink
This junmai sake is brewed with local rice and water by the Shirafuji Sake Brewery, which has a brewery in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture, and is full of the local Wajima climate.
It is a junmai sake brewed with up to 60% Wajima-grown Gohyakumangoku rice, carefully bottle-fired and stored in bottles. It is a perfect food sake to be enjoyed with a meal.
After the Noto Peninsula earthquake on January 1, 1994, our brewery lost its function as a sake brewery.
At the time, there were four bottles of unrefined sake in the brewery that were still in the process of fermentation.
Two of the four bottles were Junmai-shu Wajima Monogatari.
On January 13, breweries in Yamagata and Fukushima responded to our plight and removed approximately 2,000 liters of unrefined sake.
The Goso Sake Brewery in Hakui, Ishikawa Prefecture, accepted the unrefined sake, topped it up and bottled it for us.
In April, the brewery finally received the shipment and returned home.
It is a precious sake that is the fruit of our passion.

It's the middle of the week, and it's time for a refreshing drink.
We will be drinking "Wajima Monogatari" by Shirafuji Shuzo, a sake brewery that has made a comeback in the disaster-stricken island of Wajima.
The label is full of flavor and hand-applied.
When you take a sip, the refreshing sweetness and umami of Gohyakumangoku spreads in your mouth in a nice way.
The acidity and umami are hard to describe in words. What is it? It is an interesting thing that happens every time I drink Shirafuji's sake.
Even though it is only the middle day of the week, it is still a delicious sake that I can't help but drink again today.
