Brewery's commitments
-
Careful selection of breweries
The project will be run by several companies that secured the top results at last year's prefectural fair for Junmai Daiginjo sake with a rice polishing ratio of 40% or less. This is a project that can only be done in Yamagata, where sake rice champions and sake brewery champions team up to brew sake that represents Yamagata Prefecture. -
Highest grade Junmai Daiginjo sake
Yamagata Sanga is an original brand Junmai Daiginjo sake developed by the prefecture and the Prefectural Sake Brewers Association, aiming to be the best in Japan. In addition to the pure water nurtured by the rich nature, we carefully pick the particularly excellent "Yukimegami" rice developed in Yamagata Prefecture that was selected in a contest. For the brewing, only the top one, the ultimate of all Yamagata San sake breweries selected that year will be allowed. The base will be "Yukimegami" rice with a rice polishing ratio of 35%. -
Yukimegami
We want to produce top-class, world-class Japanese sake using 100% Yamagata rice. This rice is suitable for sake brewing.
