The Koganei Shuzo sake brewery was established in 1818. It is a long-established sake brewery that has been in business for 200 years. While preserving traditional techniques, the brewery also introduced new fermentation techniques and skillfully fused them to produce its representative sake, Sakarimasu, which won the gold medal at the Japan Sake Award in 2021 and also the gold medal at the Fine Sake Award in 2021.
This Daiginjo is made from Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, polished 40%, and fermented at low temperature for a long time utilizing the techniques handed down directly from Echigo Toji. It has a clean and smooth taste with a fruity aroma reminiscent of apples.
By fermenting the rice slowly at low temperature, the soft umami of the rice is brought out, and it is characterized by its slightly fragrant ginjo aroma, mild taste, and moderate acidity.
