Jikon Junmai Ginjo Yokawa Yamadanishiki 而今 吉川山田錦火入れ 純米吟釀 720ML

Kiyasho Shuzo, founded in 1818 by Shohachi Onishi in Nabari, Mie Prefecture, Japan, began as a lumber merchant, hence the name "Kiyasho" meaning "wood shop." The brewery has preserved traditional sake brewing techniques while evolving over generations. In 2004, sixth-generation owner Tadayoshi Onishi, at age 27, took over amid financial struggles. Working solo, he revived the business and launched the "Jikon" brand, inspired by a Zen term for "seize the moment." Focusing on quality and local rice, it gained acclaim for innovative yet rooted expressions, blending heritage with modern finesse.

The Jikon Yoshikawa Yamada Nishiki Hiire Junmai Ginjo is a balanced sake brewed with Yamada Nishiki rice from Yoshikawa, polished to 50%, pasteurized for stability.

Nosing: Floral and fresh aromas of strawberry, raspberry, honeydew melon, with subtle rice and fruity notes.

Palate: Light and juicy with gentle sweetness, rice umami, refreshing acidity, and hints of berries and melon for a clean, smooth texture.

Finish: Crisp and satisfying, fading gradually with lingering fruitiness and subtle dryness.
