Asahi Shuzo (Niigata) Kubota Manju Junmai Daiginjo Ten Thousand Celebrations 720 ML

This is one of if not the most sought after Daiginjo in Japan. This Daiginjo is sophisticated and yet very drinkable, perhaps too drinkable as the phantom finish leaves you wondering if you swallowed or not. \n \n Distillery Information \n Niigata Prefecture is often nicknamed “The Land of Rice” due to its ideal climate. Rice cultivation is nurtured by fertile clayey soil transported downstream via the Shinano River and further ameliorated by the region’s heavy snowfall, which supplies the fields with irrigation water when the snow melts. Even now, Niigata is said to be the largest producer of rice in Japan and home to the largest number of sake breweries. One of our master brewers once said, “The quality of sake cannot exceed the quality of its ingredients.” — a philosophy we still hold today. This is why we are committed to nature conservation efforts: Without a healthy natural environment, our most precious resources of rice and water will suffer, as will our sake.
