Description
Suginomori Brewery "narai" a
Rice Polishing Ratio: 34%
Varietal: Kinmon-Nishiki
A new Japanese sake from a revived historic sake brewery. Brewed from the fresh mountain water of Kiso Valley that has long supported the town of Narai-juku, and locally produced rice from nearby Azumino, Nagano. Each bottle is carefully prepared through a small-lot production method unique to microbreweries.
Made with the Nagano original Sake rice varietal Kinmon-Nishiki which was developed roughly 70 years ago from cross breeding Yamadanishiki and the local Takane-Nishiki as a suitable and high quality sake rice for nagano rice cultivation.
Established in 1793, Suginomori Shuzo was somewhat of a symbol of Narai-juku. The brewery closed in 2012, only to be reopened in 2021. It is the highest sake brewery in Japan, standing at an altitude of 940m
