YANO SHUZO
Brewery: Yano Shuzo Ltd.
Founded: 1796
About 60% of Yano Shuzo's production volume remains in Saga Prefecture, and their brewery is extremely small with a staff of only 4 people, including the Toji. They produce a wide variety of premium class sake ranging from aged (koshu) to fragrant Ginjo sake. Kashima's abundant soft underground water shapes the round, cool, and timeless flavor characteristics of their brews, which they make with the aim to revitalize the region through sake brewing. Yano Shuzo wishes to help connect people to food, and people to people, through drinking their sake.

Tasting Notes
This rare Koshu (aged) sake is brewed by traditional techniques using the wild microorganisms living in the brewery and aged at ambient brewery temperature. This classical style displays rich, toothsome character and plentiful umami, set in harmonious balance against chewy acidity smoothed through the aging process. The nose has notes of vanilla, nuts, and spices. Please drink without chilling.
