Koikawa

This is 'Koikawa,' a local sake brewed by Koikawa Sake Brewery, a brewery based in Shonai Town. Founded in 1725, the brewery boasts nearly 300 years of history. Koikawa Sake Brewery is widely known as the brewery that revived the legendary rice variety 'Kamenoo,' which originated in Shonai Town. In the 1980s, they received seeds from the Abe family and successfully brought Kamenoo back to life as a sake rice, despite its reputation for being difficult to cultivate. Committed to using local rice, local water, and local yeast, each bottle is carefully brewed by a Toji (master brewer) who has inherited these local techniques. The flavor is gentle and profound, nurtured by the natural environment of Shonai. With every slow sip, you can taste the honest sake brewing unique to the rice-producing region of Shonai.
