소개

Located in the Aga river valley of eastern Niigata, Kirinzan exclusively uses locally grown rice and Aga river water. This commitment to terroir produces sakes with a distinctive mineral-driven character. The brewery's name references Mt. Kirinzan, and their traditional approach emphasizes food-friendliness over flashy aromatics.
