Asakura

When poured into a cup, a soft and gorgeous aroma rises. With a single sip, a mellow umami spreads across the palate, followed by a crisp, clean finish. The perfect balance makes it incredibly easy to drink—this is Asakura, the local sake of Yokote City. Produced by Asakura Brewery, founded in 1886. Utilizing the 'Akita-style cold brewing' method that takes advantage of Yokote's natural cold, the sake is fermented slowly at low temperatures. Only local Akita rice is used. The skill of the Yamauchi Toji (master brewer) combined with the passion of the brewery workers creates a brilliant aroma and mellow umami. Their unfiltered raw sake (muroka namagenshu), which is dry and sharp, is also popular and captures the hearts of sake enthusiasts. Nurtured by the underground waters of the Omonogawa River, this is a sake that never tires the palate. It is a highly capable sake that has been steadily loved in the land of Yokote. Please give it a taste.
