Mountain Flower
With its beauty and charm, “Sanka” brings to mind a meadow of alpine wildflowers. The taste is subtle and suave, with mild aroma and savory undertones.
Miyasaka Brewing Company
Nagano Prefecture
Masumi is one of the great names of the sake world, admired throughout Japan for its unshakable down-to-earth reliability. The brewery where it is made was founded in 1662 in the town of Suwa, where a tradition of precision craftsmanship had led to the development of the silk spinning trade. Masumi achieved great prominence in 1946 with the discovery of a new yeast variety, “Nanago” or Association No. 7. With its gentle aroma and ease of use Nanago continues to be used by over half of the breweries in Japan.
