Horaisen KU Junmai Daiginjo is a refined expression of traditional craftsmanship from Sekiya Shuzo, nestled in the mountainous Nagano region.

This sake is crafted using carefully polished Yamada Nishiki rice, milled to a delicate 50% to reveal its purest starch core.

The result is a sake that enchants with its elegant aroma of ripe melon and subtle floral notes, balanced by a silky smooth texture and a clean, refreshing finish.

After brewing, the sake is carefully stored in tanks for a full year to mature, allowing its flavors to harmonize and deepen before it is released to the market.

The brewery’s dedication to precision and balance shines through in this premium Junmai Daiginjo, offering a harmonious experience that highlights the pristine waters and cool climate of Nagano.

Sekiya Shuzo uses the traditional Yamahai method combined with a slow, low-temperature fermentation process.
This technique encourages the development of rich umami and complex flavors while maintaining the sake’s crispness and clarity.
By carefully controlling each stage — from rice polishing to koji cultivation and fermentation — the brewery ensures a sake that is both vibrant and sophisticated. The subsequent year-long maturation in tank further refines the sake’s character, enhancing its smoothness and depth.
