Toyama Breweries

Toyama benefits from snowmelt water from the Tateyama mountain range and a cold coastal climate, producing a full-bodied, bone-dry sake with satisfying depth. Local rice Tentakaku contributes rich flavor, and long low-temperature fermentation builds both body and a crisp finish. The sake is an outstanding match for masu-zushi (trout sushi), white shrimp, and yellowtail.
