About

Aiming for a 'Noto-grown ginjo sake,' the brewery uses Ishikawamon, a sake rice variety from Ishikawa Prefecture, cultivated in Noto, a region certified as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. The aroma is gentle, with a melon-like fruitiness. On the palate, the fruit-like sweetness of the rice and a crisp acidity come together for a juicy impression. The finish is clean. Despite being a ginjo sake, it has a substantial flavor and does not tire the palate, making it easy to keep drinking. It pairs well with fatty seafood. It is a Noto ginjo sake that is favored by many sushi restaurants in the prefecture. The ginjo aroma that rises through the nose alongside the flavor creates a pleasant intoxication, bringing out the qualities of the dish and offering a sublime moment.
