Brewer's Notes
Making the most of the character of our estate-grown rice, we place priority on temperature control so as not to lose the freshness of new-rice, new-season sake. Designed to retain the umami, spritz and just-pressed vibrancy of muroka genshu, and finished with care for a sense of the season. Crafted with care for balanced flavor 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.
