Gokyo Junmai Daiginjo Kintai

山口県産の山田錦を35%まで精米して醸す純米大吟醸は、弊社のフラッグシップ商品として位置づけられる自信の一品です。華やかな吟醸香、繊細な味わい、水のごとき舌触りはまさに手造りの逸品といえるでしょう。リニューアル元年である平成30BYの造りでは山口県新酒鑑評会吟醸酒部門での最優等賞に選ばれており、純米大吟醸への移行は間違っていなかったと確信させてくれました。

Founded in 1871 (Meiji 4), the sake's name "Gokyo" comes from the five-bridge "Kintaikyo" that spans the Nishiki River. In the spring of 1947, at a time when hard water brewing was at its peak, the sake won first place at the National New Sake Tasting Competition for sake brewed with soft water, attracting the attention of those involved. Since then, it has been beloved as a famous sake representing Yamaguchi Prefecture. Based on the belief of "doing the obvious things in an obvious way," this sake is made with a focus on local rice, water, and people in order to be a "local sake of Yamaguchi Prefecture," and is characterized by the delicate and aromatic quality that is unique to soft water brewing.
