Niigata Joetsu Breweries

Joetsu City benefits from rice grown on the Kubiki plain and pure water from the Myoko mountain foothills, producing a calm, measured sake shaped by the deep-snow winter environment. The mouthfeel is soft, with a clean finish, so even a dry style retains a pleasant rice roundness. Pairs well with suru-ten (deep-fried fish cake), fresh seafood, and the region's fermentation-rich local cuisine, and is widely enjoyed as an everyday food-pairing sake.

Joetsu's sake uses Myoko mountain water and cold winters to produce a soft, round mouthfeel with a clean, crisp finish.
