Awards
Milano Sake Challenge2019 Junmai Ginjo Division Design Silver

This "Shunnoten Junmai-ginjo" is a type of Junmai-ginjo, made from a type of sake rice called 'Tamasakaei', which has been cultivated and polished in-house by our brewers in Fujikawa Town, Yamanashi Prefecture, combined with the finest underground water from the southernmost tip of the Southern Alps, thus really fulfilling the idea of producing and consuming locally. Most of the sake we brew from cultivated rice is dry and crisp, real manly sake, but this one has a delicate, sweet scent, and while it is moderately acidic and light in taste, it finishes with a delicious, distinctive flavor. This sake complements not only Japanese cuisine, but also Western foods, and can be paired with a range of various dishes. In 2019, this sake won the Best Design Silver Award at the Milano Sake Challenge, a competition held by the Italian Sake Sommelier Association, and was highly praised in the very town of Milan, the birthplace of design and fashion, for the design of its bottle and label.

About "Shunnoten"
The sake's name bears the elegant meaning of the 'the chirp of the spring bush warbler', and is named after the famous poet Akiko Yosano, who visited our storehouse, and praised our sake for its flavor, scent and appearance in a small poem she wrote. We continue producing delicious sake by cultivating our sake rice based on the idea that we should stick to making our locally produced sake from locally produced rice and water.
