Yoshi no Gawa Kome Dake no Sake

Yoshi no Gawa Kome Dake no Saké is a classic Junmai sake from Niigata, crafted by one of Japan’s oldest breweries, founded in 1548. Known for its pure water and high-quality rice, the brewery produces sake in a clean and refined Niigata style.

Medium-bodied and well-balanced, it offers a smooth and creamy profile with subtle complexity. Aromas of steamed rice, toasted cereal and light nuttiness lead into a palate featuring creamy rice, melon and delicate fruit notes. A touch of acidity keeps it fresh, finishing clean, dry and refreshing.
