Enjoying Japanese Sake
Shirataki Sake Brewery is dedicated to crafting sake that embodies its name, “like water.” Located in the heart of Echigo Yuzawa, one of Japan’s most famous snowy regions, the brewery uses meltwater from winter snow to create its sake. This pristine water is light, soft, and subtly sweet, forming the foundation of the brewing process. Discover the refined flavors of this exceptional water in the newly crafted “Jozen Mizunogotoshi.”
AOKISHUZO The Sake Brewery’s “Kakurei” is characterized by flavors that complement the local food culture of Uonuma. It is a sake that pairs well with Uonuma cuisine, which includes preserved foods like dried fish and pickles that can be stored throughout the winter. “Kakurei” is crafted in Niigata’s signature clean and crisp style, yet it maximizes the natural umami of the rice, aiming to create a label that never tires the palate.
