Midorikawa : Junmai 60

An exceptional sake, between tradition and innovation

The property

Founded in 1884, the Midorikawa brewery is a true gem of Niigata Prefecture, in the heart of the old village of Koide, in Uonuma City. Known for its crystal clear waters and fertile rice fields, it embodies ancestral know-how. Under the direction of Toshiharu Odaira, the fifth generation at the head of the brewery, Midorikawa perpetuates a tradition of excellence, favoring absolute purity and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Origins and terroir

Uonuma is an exceptional terroir for rice cultivation. Fed by the crystal clear water from the melting local snow, the rigorously selected rice varieties give these sakes a unique personality. Each grape variety brings its own expression, ranging from fruity freshness to deeper and more complex flavors, thus enhancing the balance and elegance of each cuvée.

Production method

Thanks to a low-temperature fermentation and carefully controlled aging, Midorikawa sakes reveal aromas of great complexity, combining finesse and depth. This meticulous know-how testifies to the brewery's absolute respect for its natural environment and its unwavering commitment to artisanal excellence.
