About

Gold medal, Hokkaido-grown rice ginjo category, Reiwa 5 brewing year (2023), Sapporo Regional Taxation Bureau New Sake Appraisal From the rice delivered each year by our trusted contract farmers, we select the finest grains and polish them to 35%. This is the pinnacle of junmai daiginjo from Ryokkyu-gura, made with the full measure of its skill and craft, and it asks the nation what Hokkaido sake made from Hokkaido-grown rice can achieve. Kitashizuku descends from the lineage of Omachi, the rice loved by many sake enthusiasts. Among Hokkaido sake rice, its grains are notably large and firm, with the presence of a true sake rice. Its flavor is defined by a rich umami with depth. The sake shows the floral, fruit-like ginjo aroma typical of junmai daiginjo, a plump sweetness wrapped in gentle acidity, and a calm, lingering finish. It has turned out to be truly outstanding. We hope you will enjoy this junmai daiginjo as a tribute to the passionate sake rice growers across Hokkaido who grow the rice we brew with.
