【narai Sankei Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo】

Suginomori brewery was originally established in 1793 in Narai-juku, a historic post town in Shiojiri, Nagano. Situated at an elevation of approximately 940 metres, the brewery is among Japan’s highest-located sake breweries. Surrounded by Japanese cedar forests and shaped by a cold mountain climate, Narai-juku offers a distinctive setting for sake brewing. The original Suginomori Shuzo ceased operations in 2012 and was restored in 2021 as suginomori brewery.

The renewed brewery works with Nagano-grown sake rice and exceptionally soft mountain water drawn near the watershed between the Shinano and Kiso river systems. Its water is valued for its soft, gentle profile. The narai range is brewed in small batches throughout the year, allowing the brewery to explore the seasonal character of Nagano through a more contemporary, terroir-led approach.

This expression is made with Sankei Nishiki, a young sake rice developed in Nagano and well suited to the region’s mountain climate. At approximately 14% ABV, it is light on its feet yet quietly detailed, bringing together a restrained fruit profile, gentle rice umami and a clean, mineral-like finish. The rice polishing ratio is not publicly disclosed.

White peach, green pear, green apple and delicate white flowers lead the nose, with subtle rice-koji notes and a fresh, mountain-water-like mineral clarity. The palate is soft and silky, with the lower alcohol level lending an effortless, light-bodied feel. Restrained fruit sweetness, gentle rice umami and fine acidity unfold through the mid-palate without becoming heavy. It finishes clean and settled, with a faint touch of citrus peel and rice character.
