Midorikawa Brewery Junmai Daiginjo 720ml

In Japan, many believe the finest rice comes from Uonuma in southern Niigata prefecture. Midorikawa Shuzo, located between the Uono River and Uonuma's rice paddies, produces refined sake from top-quality local rice, using water sourced from 50 meters underground. Their house style boasts a unique creaminess achieved through careful blending and aging. This Junmai Daiginjo captures the spirit of Uonuma, crafted exclusively from locally grown Koshi Tanrei rice. It’s produced only when the rice, terroir, and sake align to meet Midorikawa’s highest standards. Fermented slowly at low temperatures and aged for over a year, the current batch is a blend of 2- and 3-year aged sake—an expression of both the brewery’s artistry and the snowy purity of Uonuma’s landscape.
