Niigata Meijo is located in Ojiya in the central region of Niigata Prefecture — a fertile valley for rice farming surrounded by snow-covered mountains, where the winters create ideal conditions for sake production. Over seven decades of brewing have earned the brewery a well-deserved reputation for sake that is characteristically beautiful, smooth, clean, and clear.
The Junmai Shu is a textbook expression of the elegant Niigata style. Made from Gohyakumangoku rice and polished to 58%, this smooth and quaffable sake delivers delicate fruit aromas with hints of banana and citrus beneath a gentle rice flavor — a major crowd pleaser that performs equally well at every temperature. Unpretentious, precise, and deeply satisfying.
Ideal with yakitori, tempura, grilled fish, sashimi, or soba.
