Brewed by Shinshu Kirei Shuzo (信州亀齢酒造) in Nagano Prefecture, Yamakei Nishiki Junmai Ginjo (山恵錦 純米吟醸) showcases the elegance of Nagano-grown Yamakei Nishiki rice, a local variety celebrated for its supple texture and gentle sweetness.

Bottled as a Muroka Nama Genshu (unfiltered, unpasteurised, and undiluted), it captures the vibrant life of freshly pressed sake. Aromas of green apple, pear, and rice blossom lead into a juicy, lightly effervescent palate balanced by crisp acidity and soft umami. The finish is clean, bright, and refreshing — a hallmark of Shinshu’s pristine mountain water.
