【narai Kinmon 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.

Kinmon Nishiki is a rare sake rice from Nagano, developed from Yamada Nishiki and Takane Nishiki. Grown only in limited areas of the prefecture, it is valued for its distinctive balance of gentle texture, clarity and rice-driven depth.

white peach, ripe pear, melon, green apple and delicate white flowers, followed by rice koji, steamed rice, a light nutty nuance and a fresh, mountain-water-like mineral character. The palate is soft and fluid, with its 14% ABV giving the sake a finely textured, light-footed feel. Restrained fruit sweetness, more defined Kinmon Nishiki umami and gentle acidity build through the mid-palate. Compared with the Sankei Nishiki expression, it feels slightly broader and more rounded in texture, while remaining clean and composed.
