First Junmai Daiginjo-only brewery in the Ginjo Kingdom of Yamagata.

KYOKUGEN Vintage2019 Limited Quantity

English name: ULTRA Vintage2019

All the skills and passion of the brewery established in 1832 have been invested in this sake, which has everything from aroma, refinement, body and aftertaste. Launched in 2013, KYOKUGEN remains a symbolic sake of our brewery. Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, the "King of Sake Rice", is polished to 8% for about 300 hours.

The brewers' techniques for brewing this extremely small white rice with a polishing ratio of 8% have been became more and more expert over the years. The "KYOKUGEN" brewed in 2019 was of the highest quality and the potential of the sake itself was exceptional, so we have decided to aging it maturation under ice temperature and release it under the title of "KYOKUGEN Vintage 2019".

We hope you will fully enjoy the charm of sake that deepens with the passage of time.
