Rice
Tasting Note
Appearance: A very slightly yellowish crystal tone.
Aroma: The sweetness of konpeito (Japanese sugar candy) or sugar cane and the herbaceous aroma of sweet basil on the nose. Upon swirling, all the aromatic nuances mix and become well-balanced. The aroma of hard
rice arises beautifully afterwards.
Taste: Has a slightly milkier impression compared to its sweet aroma. The taste is lighter than expected, brought about by the fine sake quality and acidity. As you savor the sake, you can taste the fullness of soft rice.

suginomori brewery
Established in 1793, Suginomori Shuzo was somewhat of a symbol of Narai-juku. Once regarded as one of the “Five Great Sakes of Kiso,” the family-run brewery produced Japanese sake that was loved by many – until it closed its doors in 2012, all but ending over 200 years of brewing history. In 2021, this historic brewery was restored and rebranded as suginomori brewery.
suginomori brewery is the highest sake brewery in Japan, standing at an altitude of 940m. As the name Suginomori – or “cedar forest” – indicates, they brew their sake in a town called Narai-juku surrounded by a mountainous forest of Japanese cedar trees. with fresh mountain water from Kiso Valley and rice cultivated in the high altitudes of nearby Azumino – the finest quality ingredients to brew narai.
