Sanshoraku
As you tilt your cup, a full-bodied umami coats the tongue, followed by a crisp, dry finish that disappears smoothly. It is a rich cup that holds its own even against the intense flavors of mountain delicacies. This is Sanshoraku, the local sake of Gokayama that has lived alongside the mountain lifestyle. The brewery is located in Gokayama, a region renowned as a World Heritage site. Founded in 1880, it sits in one of Toyama's heaviest snowfall areas, where the sake matures slowly amidst the winter cold. The brewing water is soft subsoil water nurtured by the ancient beech forests that have protected the village from avalanches. The inherited Yamahai brewing method creates a bountiful umami. It is a flavor you want to gulp down alongside wild mountain vegetables and river delicacies—a taste that embodies the entire essence of this snow-covered village.
