Made in Hakata, Fukuoka, a region with the fifth most sake breweries in Japan, this Junmaishu uses locally grown Yamadanishiki rice and spring water from the Fukuoka mountains to create a drier, cleaner taste in mouth.
With a smooth texture and a clean, refreshing finish, this sake is ranked as one of the region's top ten Junmai each year.
A clear and very dry sake with a nice sweetness, to drink chilled. An essential refreshment for those who love sake.
Tasting notes: A light-colored sake that develops a fruity aroma and a clear sweetness, followed by a rich umami. A finish that leaves the mouth full of flavors.
Pairings: Grilled meat, light food, salad, seafood, oysters, white fish, sushi and sashimi, tempura, otoro (blue tuna belly)

Kabayashi Shuzo believes that Ginjo and Daiginjo sake are works of art that embody the Japanese spirit. It is therefore dedicated to the exclusive production of quality sake elevated to the level of art, using a brewing method that dates back more than 200 years.
Perhaps this is why it is widely recognized as one of the best Jizake breweries in Japan.
