SakeRYUSUISEN Meigetsu 720ml [Ichinoya, Nagano Prefecture]

It all begins with the passion of Ichinoya. Then comes the pure water nurtured by beautiful soil, and the carefully selected rice delivered from renowned rice-growing regions each year. Once these ingredients—our materials for sake—gather in our brewery, the hands and sensibilities of people bring them to life. Polishing, washing, steaming the rice, creating the koji, preparing the yeast starter. Fermentation, brewing, filtration, pasteurization, and storage—every step is infused with the craftsmanship of our brewers, and the unique sensibility of our toji (master brewer) gives birth to one-of-a-kind sake. Sake is crafted through water, rice, and human hands. At Ichinoya, we honor the wisdom of our predecessors while placing our trust in the sensibilities of the toji and brewers who live in the present. This is the essence of Ichinoya's sake brewing.
