Midorikawa
A hidden gem known to connoisseurs, this is a light-bodied sake from Uonuma overflowing with clarity. Founded in 1884 (Meiji 17), Midorikawa Sake Brewery has been brewing light, dry sake in Uonuma City. The brewery is known for its unique and uncompromising approach to distribution; they do not have an official website or engage in mail order, choosing instead to entrust their sake only to trusted authorized retailers. Using the rare 'Hokuriku 12' rice variety, which was revived from seed by the previous generation, they craft a sake with a subtle aroma and a light, easy-to-drink finish. Thorough temperature control, unaffected by climate fluctuations, supports consistent quality. Its clean taste, free of impurities, is truly the ideal form of the 'Niigata Tanrei' (light and crisp) style. It is a quiet masterpiece that you should definitely pick up if you ever encounter it.
