Michizakura Junmai "R Class"

True Sake Review Coming Soon!

From De Maison:

Michizakura, originally founded in Gifu prefecture in 1877, was moved to its current Hokkaido location in 2020 as Toji Yamada Koji, the 7th generation brewer here, chose to relocate to cooler climates rather than rebuild and refrigerate. The new location’s ideals went beyond temperature, with Higashikawa lending a partnering hand to establishing the steel-framed brewery plus access to pristine water from Mount Taisetsu snowmelt. Michizakura is a perfect marriage of tradition and innovation: luminous, clean and textural.
