Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate from Kusumi Shuzo, which revived the phantom sake rice "Kame no O". It is characterized by a refreshing acidity and a clean throat. The sweetness is not exaggerated and goes well with both Western and Japanese food.

The brewery was established by Naohiko Noguchi, nicknamed the "God of Sake Brewing," as the culmination of more than 70 years of sake brewing. The aroma is fresh and sweet, with a hint of green melon and lily flower. The friendly, gentle and soft mouthfeel is enhanced by the fruity flavor from the mid-palate, and the acidic aftertaste provides a long, enjoyable aftertaste. I wanted to drink it after watching the documentary film "NOGUCHI - God of Sake Brewing" on Netflix, which closely follows the sake brewing process of Naohiko Noguchi!

Founded in 1922 in Minamiuonuma, Niigata. With abundant water and carefully selected sake rice from a region with heavy snowfall, the company has continued to make top-quality sake with the utmost care and attention to human needs. Taking advantage of the natural power of this region, which has one of the heaviest snowfalls in Japan, the sake is matured for eight years in the "snow chamber," a low-temperature storage cellar filled with 1,000 tons of snow. The sake is aged at a low temperature of around 3 degrees Celsius for a long period of time to preserve its light flavor and smooth, elegant taste.

Suppin Rumiko no Sake Tokubetsu Junmai Special Junmai No.6 Yeast Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake Sake bottled as it comes out of the tank, unfiltered, carbon-free, additive-free, and unpasteurized. A rare sake that can only be tasted in the brewery. Moriki Sake Brewery was founded in 1897 in Iga City, Mie Prefecture. Rumiko's Sake" is a brand name that was created after the brewer's wife, Rumiko, who was impressed by the manga "Natsuko's Sake," wrote a letter to Akira Oze, the author of the manga. As commented by our favorite liquor store*, it was delicious! A well-balanced, light, dry junmai sake brewed with 25% Awa Yamadanishiki and 75% Hiroshima Hachitan Nishiki. The flavor and acidity of the Hachitan-Nishiki rice used in the brewing process gives the sake a crisp aftertaste. It is interesting to see how the freshness of new sake will change when it matures.

public relations Sparkling Sake Tokubetsu Junmai Katsugoshi Nigori Nama Shu Shiwa Shuzo's popular Junmai Activated Nigori Sake made by a female master brewer. It is a rare sake bottled with the yeast still alive, and after the refreshing carbonation, the delicious taste of rice and rice malt spreads in your mouth! If the lid is opened carelessly, the sake will overflow, so it takes about 20 minutes to reduce the pressure in the bottle little by little. The lactic acid type sparkling sake cuts through the fat, so you may enjoy it with a rich dish, fried chicken, or meat dishes. This sake is rarely distributed due to its very small quantity.
