Kokken
This is a representative local sake of Aizu, brewed by Kokken Shuzo, which has continued in Minami-Aizu town since 1877. It is well known as a regular gold medal winner at the National New Sake Awards. It is said that the name 'Kokken' (National Authority) was given by a monk who stayed at the brewery during his training, inspired by the rights of an independent nation. The brewery's high reputation is supported by its commitment to carefully brewing only specified-grade sake using soft well water nurtured by the primeval forests of Minami-Aizu, a region of heavy snowfall. Perhaps the severity of the snow country is precisely what produces such clear sake. With a gorgeous aroma and a solid umami, this is a full-bodied bottle born from the rich nature of Oku-Aizu and the skill of craftsmen. It is a sake you'll want to savor slowly alongside Aizu's local cuisine.
