This junmai daiginjo is brewed using 100% Yukihime, a sake-brewing rice developed by Yamagata Prefecture specifically for daiginjo brewing.

This sake embodies a Japanese terroir, meticulously crafted through a trinity of elements: using locally harvested Yukimegami rice from the Shōnai Plain, water sourced from the underground spring of sacred Mount Chōkai flowing beneath the brewery, and employing unique brewing techniques honed over 150 years.

This sake, “Kinkanokura”, allows you to fully savour a junmai daiginjo crafted from Yamagata's sake rice, Yukihime.

When poured into a glass, this sake appears at first glance to be the colour of white wine.
Its aroma unfolds with a refreshing citrus note, combined with a hint of sweetness.

Upon tasting, a soft sweetness is initially perceived, followed by a grapefruit-like acidity.
The finish evokes the sensation of drinking a rich Chardonnay white wine.

This sake's flavour profile differs entirely from other Japanese sakes due to the citric acid produced during its white koji fermentation process.

Its most distinctive characteristic is a pleasant acidity within a full-bodied texture.

A cloudy sake brewed with Tsuyahime rice.
Made using Yamagata Prefecture's premium “Tsuyahime” rice, a Special A-grade brand.
This sake is characterised by a smoother, more refreshing finish than typical cloudy sakes, achieved through a unique, specialised pressing method that yields a coarser texture.
This is the only cloudy sake made exclusively from 100% Tsuyahime rice.


Yamagata Prefecture is known as the kingdom of ginjo sake in Japan's sake production, and within this prefecture, in the Shōnai region, lies the sake brewery producing the “Kiyoizumigawa” brand of sake.

The “Kiyoizumigawa” brewery crafts exceptionally delicious sake using superb rice harvested from the local Shōnai Plain and groundwater sourced from the nearby Mount Chōkai.
