Introduction

This is the brewery's first Junmai Daiginjo with a rice polishing ratio of 30%, surpassing Ichibanmatoi Junmai Daiginjo, which has long reigned as the pinnacle of Toyo Bijin. All Yamada Nishiki grown locally in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, is used. It is exactly what Mr. Sumikawa envisions as "water that has passed through rice" brewed from the rice, water, people, and terroir of Hagi.

The Brewery

Sumikawa Brewery, led by Mr. Sumikawa, a talented young brewer who trained at Takagi Shuzo, produces exceptional sake from locally grown unique rice varieties. Their brand, "Toyo Bijin," aims to be "clear water that has passed through the rice plant." In 2013, a torrential downpour caused devastating damage, burying the brewery under nearly two meters of earth and sand. However, with the help of volunteers, the brewery made a remarkable recovery and, while slowly returning to previous production levels, continues to evolve with a passion for sake brewing.
