The Igarashi River, which flows through Sanjo City in central Niigata Prefecture, provides soft water that plays a key role in shaping the flavor of sake. This ideal brewing water gives Fukugao’s sake a smooth, mellow character.
For the rice, they use top-grade Yamadanishiki grown under contract in the Special A region of Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture. The result is a sake with an elegant ginjo aroma and a pure, gentle rice flavor that softly spreads across the palate.
