Founded in 1548, Yoshinogawa is the eighth oldest existing saké brewery in Japan and the very first saké brewery to be established in the now famed Niigata Prefecture (North and West of Tokyo, along the sea of Japan). The knowledge of multiple centuries goes into crafting each bottle of Yoshinogawa saké. This sake, classified 'Gokujo' meaning 'excellent', is delicate, dry and fragrant with a crisp, clean finish, soft acidity and subtle complexity are noted before hints of anise, fresh herbs, and stone fruits like peach and nectarine.
