We participated in the Kura Master Sake Competition 2023 and won the following awards:

・Gold Award in the Junmai Daiginjo Sake Category: "Sakuraji Junmai Daiginjo"

About the award-winning products

This Junmai Daiginjo sake is made using cherry blossom yeast isolated from the flowers of Nishinomiya City's original cherry tree, Imazu Benikanzakura, and is made using 100% Yamada Nishiki rice from Hyogo Prefecture, which is considered to be of particularly high quality among the Yamada Nishiki rice varieties that are the best suited to sake brewing.
It has a sweet and mellow taste, with a good balance of the acidity from the cherry blossom yeast and the sweetness of the Yamadanishiki rice, and the aftertaste fades away nicely.

*Sakuramichi Junmai Daiginjo 720ml bottle, which has been on sale in limited quantities since February 2023, has been so well received that we have sold the planned quantity and have now ceased shipping it from our company.
