Clear | Silky | Dry

A sake that embodies Nagano’s natural elegance, Yoakemae Sankeinishiki Junmai Daiginjo is brewed by Ono Brewery, a historic sake maker founded in 1864. Crafted with Sankeinishiki rice, a rice variety uniquely developed in Nagano, this sake offers a delicate fragrance, a silky mouthfeel, and a crisp, dry finish, making it an exceptional companion for refined cuisine and dishes that highlight natural flavors and subtle umami.

Unlike many Junmai Daiginjo sakes that lean toward floral sweetness, Yoakemae Sankeinishiki Junmai Daiginjo offers a refreshing sharpness and a refined dry aftertaste while a delicate aroma reminiscent of high-end grapes invites a sip. The balance of gentle fruitiness, soft umami, and sharp clarity makes it a versatile companion to fine cuisine.

Inspired by the pristine nature of Nagano, this sake is crafted for those who appreciate refined simplicity, making every sip a graceful indulgence.
