Introducing Aoki Shuzo’s Junmai Daiginjo: a sake deeply rooted in the history of Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture, known for its snowy landscapes. Aoki Shuzo, in operation since 1717, has upheld a three-century tradition. Crafted exclusively from Niigata’s finest Koshi-Tanrei rice, this sake is a genuine representation of the region’s essence.
This balanced elixir offers delicate floral and fruity aromas, followed by a subtle umami on the palate. It stands out in the world of Junmai Daiginjo as a refreshing revelation, with an elegant fruit aroma and a smooth flavour profile that beckons you to savour without growing weary.
At Aoki Shuzo, “Wago,” or harmonisation, holds a special place. It embodies the collective spirit of producers, sellers, and drinkers, rooted in the enduring and cooperative traditions of Niigata.
Aoki Shuzo’s mission extends beyond Niigata’s famed Tanrei-Karakuchi (light, elegant and dry sake style)t, aiming to create Tanrei-Umakuchi while preserving the original recipe for another century.
Tanrei Umakuch embodies a delicate balance of all five tastes, with a unique blend of sweetness and dryness, creating a high-aroma product that leaves a refreshing aftertaste. Describing it in detail can be challenging, but it’s a sake that exudes the cohesive umami of rice, exhibiting a sense of dignity and elegance.Â
In each bottle of Aoki Shuzo Junmai Daiginjo, you taste history, collaboration, and the essence of Niigata, whether enjoyed alone or paired with your favourite dishes—a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation that endures.
