About product

The AZOLLA junmai daiginjo sake represents one ideal incarnation of Matsunotsukasa.Born from our gratitude towards our surroundings in the rural village of Ryuou in Shiga Prefecture and our commitment to the environment, this organic junmai daiginjo uses only Yamadanishiki rice from healthy fields in Ryuou (with no agricultural chemicals or synthetic fertiliser used during the growing season) which are covered with the aquatic fern Azolla. "No agricultural chemicals or synthetic fertiliser" is easy to say but this rice also has to withstand intense polishing that leaves only 35％ of the grain, followed by brewing. This is only possible through the long hours and painstaking effort that our contract farmers dedicate to growing this wonderful Yamadanishiki rice. Simultaneously mild and strong, complex and transparent, this sake also boasts a depth that unfolds in multiple dimensions. The name Azolla refers to a small aquatic fern that naturally grows in rice paddies and lakes. By covering the water’s surface, it blocks sunlight to suppress weeds, offering a natural alternative to chemical herbicides—an emblem of harmony between agriculture and ecology.
