      The Sake

      Koshitsukano Shuzo has been brewing sake in Niigata for nearly 240 years, and this Daiginjo is the crown jewel of what it makes. Three things underpin it: the brewery’s own home-grown yeast, pristine water drawn from the Agano River, and Yamada Nishiki — the most revered rice variety in sake brewing.

      Niigata sake has a reputation for being light and dry. This is the opposite tack: full-bodied and richly textured, with medium acidity giving it shape and a long finish carrying it out. It has the kind of depth that comes from a house doing the same thing carefully for a very long time. 16.5% ABV.

      Questions

      What makes Yamada Nishiki special?

      It has a large starchy centre and low protein, which is exactly what a brewer wants for a highly polished sake. It is the most revered variety in the category, and the hardest to grow well.

      What is Daiginjo?

      A premium grade requiring rice polished to 50% or less. It produces the most aromatic and refined styles of sake.

      Why does the water matter?

      Sake is around 80% water, so its mineral profile shapes the finished drink directly. Niigata’s soft snowmelt water is a large part of the region’s reputation.
