From the distrubtor:
“A sake with a good balance of favour and acidity. Robust enough to be enjoyed either warmed or chilled.”
About the producer:
“Ima-nishiki sake is brewed exclusively with locally-cultivated Nagano rice, groundwater drawn from the Southern Alps, and native Nagano sake yeast. Drop by drop, Ima-nishiki sake is slowly pressed using the traditional “fune” method, creating a light and vibrant taste that has been winning awards internationally, notably at the International Wine Challenge (IWC) and Sake Selection competitions.
The tadpole is employed in their logo to celebrate the age-old tradition of using tadpoles in the rice fields as a natural means of weed and pest control. Yonezawa sake brewery also releases seasonal sake reflecting each of the four seasons, equating this with the life cycle of the many tadpoles to be found in the ”Iinuma Rice Terrace” of Nakagawa Village in Southern Nagano.”
