Brewer's Notes

Because Koshitanrei rice can be slow to dissolve during fermentation, careful rice preparation and koji making are used to draw out soft umami while preserving clarity. Association No. 1801 yeast adds an expressive aroma, balancing lift and elegance with a crisp finish. Crafted for harmony and drinkability.

Behind the Flavor

Year-Round Brewing

We have created a brewing environment that is not dictated by the seasons, allowing us to brew throughout the year. By carefully controlling temperature and fermentation, we consistently achieve the flavor and maturity intended for each sake. This approach supports the clean character that defines Yoshinogawa and the gentle flavor that pairs so naturally with food.

Oxidation Control

Sake gradually changes in aroma and flavor when exposed to air. At Yoshinogawa, we have installed equipment that minimizes contact with oxygen after pressing and during transfer, protecting the delicate flavors and clean, clear character of our sake. It is our way of preserving just-brewed quality right up to the moment you drink it.

Bottle storage

Keeping bottled sake cold slows changes in flavor and helps it reach customers in better condition. Yoshinogawa has expanded refrigerated bottle-storage capacity to as many as 300,000 bottles, carefully protecting the balance of aroma, umami and finish while minimizing heat and oxygen exposure.
