Luxury Sake

Nakagumi Tobin-gakoi Junmai Daiginjo Muroka Genshu

The toji's ideal in its purest expression—Yoshinogawa's ultimate sake

The clarity of Koshitanrei rice harmonizes with a gentle fruity aroma and rice umami. A rare muroka genshu (unfiltered, undiluted sake): the portion the toji judged finest is collected in tobin (18-liter glass jugs) and the lees are drawn off by hand. Its clear finish lingers with elegance, giving it a presence worthy of a special occasion.

Brewer's Notes

Based on the clear character of Niigata S-9 yeast, the portion hand-selected by our toji is collected in 18-liter tobin jugs. The lees are drawn off by hand, and it is bottled as muroka genshu to deliver its clarity and harmony of flavor intact. It is carefully managed right through bottle storage so its delicate aroma and flavor stay in balance.

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.
