Nyukon Itteki 2022

Akishika Shuzo was founded in Osaka prefecture in 1886 and under the present 6th generation Kuramoto [Brewery Owner] this tiny brewery is creating some of Japan’s most exceptional and finest sake. Hiroaki Oku is both Kuramoto and also Toji [Master Brewer] at Akishika and his dedication and skill in creating quality sake shows in every bottle.

The rice for this Sake is sourced from rice paddies grown organically by Oku-san himself. This meigara [brand] also represents the first time Oku-san made Junmai Daiginjo with no charcoal filtration, unpasteurised and no dilution [Muroka Nama Genshu]. The Nyukon Itteki Junmai Daiginjo shows great complexity, with a dry yet elegant palate, fine texture and lingering finish. An exceptional example of Junmai Daiginjo.
