Experience
Sasanokawa Fukunoka Junmai Ginjo Fu tantalizes the taste buds with its harmonious blend of flavors. On the nose, it offers delicate floral notes, accompanied by hints of ripe melon and green apple. As the sake embraces the palate, a silky texture takes over, revealing a balanced combination of pear, citrus, and a subtle touch of umami.
Distillery
Yamazakura Shuzo, founded in 1710 south of Lake Inawashiro “Heavenly Mirror Lake” in Central Fukushima Prefecture as a sake distillery,
moved to Koriyama, Japan in 1765 as Sasanokawa Shuzo. In 1946 Sasanokawa became one of the first original brewers at the time to obtain a
whisky distillery license of which was issued by Mr. Hayato Ikeda the Director General of the Tax Bureau, at the time responsible for issuing distillery
licenses. Soon after Mr. Hayato Ikeda became Prime Minister of Japan. Sasanokawa was the sole whisky producer in the Tohoku region of Japan.
