"Chikonoiwa" is a local sake from Gifu Prefecture, brewed with meticulous care and unwavering dedication to quality, using techniques passed down through generations of Echigo sake brewers. It was named after the local megalith "Chigo-iwa" (Child Rock), evoking a sense of a thousand years. The secret to its easy drinkability lies in the use of ultra-soft water with low hardness in the brewing process. This sake is produced using a time-consuming method that is not found in mass production, and its aroma is mild, making it perfect as a accompaniment to food.
