This sake is brewed using only Yamada Nishiki rice contract-grown in the former Yoneda Village (now the Yashiro area) of the Tojo district in Kato City, Hyogo—an area renowned as a Special A–designated terroir. Crafted using the traditional kimoto method, all specifications other than the raw ingredients are intentionally undisclosed. The brewery invites drinkers to focus not on technical details, but on the expression of the rice, water, and ultimately the sense of place—the terroir itself. The aroma is extremely gentle, offering a softly sweet, understated profile that naturally complements food. On the palate, a subtle hint of natural effervescence appears despite the sake being pasteurized, lending a fresh impression. Clear, transparent sweetness and slowly unfolding umami are balanced by a slender, refined acidity, resulting in a smooth and approachable character. The finish is quietly precise, with a clean, elegant cut. Defined by its overall softness and harmony, this sake excels as a food companion and pairs effortlessly with a wide range of dishes.

Nichinichi Jozo Brewery Company

Nichinichi Jozo Brewery Company

Kyoto

Founded in Kyoto by Hidehiko Matsumoto, Nichinichi Jozo is dedicated to crafting sake that draws out the smooth, profound character of the brewing water that flows through Kyoto’s basin. With a strong focus on food pairing, the brewery creates sake designed to elevate the dining experience. Located about 15 minutes south of Kyoto Station, the brewery sits in an area surrounded by mountains on three sides. Blessed with rich underground spring water and a dry winter climate, the location offers ideal conditions for sake brewing. At Nichinichi Jozo, sake making begins not only in the brewery, but also in the rice fields. All rice used for brewing is grown under contract, with some cultivated in the brewery’s own fields. By carefully working from lactic acid fermentation onward, the brewery expresses the natural umami of rice in a gentle, honest style—sake that reflects both the land and the seasons.
