廣戶川 純米吟釀 Blue Label

【Hirowtogawa Junmai Ginjo Blue Label】
2026

Hirowtogawa is crafted by Matsuzaki Shuzo in Ten-ei Village, in central Fukushima. The brewery is known for making harmonious sake with local rice, balancing freshness, gentle richness and an understated depth of umami.

This annual limited-release Junmai Ginjo is made with Fukushima-grown Yumenoka rice, polished to 50%, and brewed with Fukushima yeast. It is pasteurised once after pressing, giving the sake added stability while retaining a fresh, lively profile with the clarity and fullness often associated with nama sake.

Pear, white peach and a gentle yoghurt-like fermentation note. On the palate, it is smooth and rounded, opening with calm rice umami and soft white-peach sweetness. Acidity carries the mid-palate, keeping the sweetness lifted and composed rather than heavy. The finish is delicate and peaceful, with light fruit and a soft, lingering aftertaste.
