Situated in a region renowned for its rich rice cultivation and pristine water sources, Okuizumo Shuzo harnesses these local bounties to produce high-quality sake.

The brewing process reflects the brewery's commitment to excellence, resulting in a sake that embodies the harmony of tradition and regional terroir.
In the glass, Okuizumo Junmai Ginjo presents a pale straw hue, inviting the senses with a floral bouquet of honeysuckle, lychee, and melon. On the palate, it offers a velvety soft texture, delivering soothing orchard fruit flavors complemented by a clean minerality that lingers through the finish. With a Sake Meter Value (SMV) of +1.0, it strikes a balance between sweetness and dryness, making it versatile for various culinary pairings. This sake is particularly well-suited to accompany dishes such as sushi, sashimi, grilled seafood, and light appetizers, enhancing the dining experience with its refined profile. Whether enjoyed chilled or at room temperature, Okuizumo Junmai Ginjo offers a delightful expression of Shimane's sake craftsmanship.
