About product

A slightly cloudy Junmai Ginjo with a gentle layer of sediment and a soft, creamy texture. The bouquet is reminiscent of ripe melon—sweet and delicate. On the palate, robust sweetness and umami unfold, supported by a distinctive acidity that gives the sake definition. The finish is gently sweet, with a lingering melon aroma. Swirl gently before opening to distribute the sediment. Niida Honke brews exclusively Junmai sake using naturally cultivated rice, the Kimoto method, and the brewery's own proprietary yeast. This special bottling of the popular limited edition "Melon 3.33" employs the "kumidashi yondan" four-stage method—with the fourth stage reduced to one-third of the usual volume—to bring out the melon aroma.

NIIDA / ODAYAKA

Founded in 1711, Niida Honke marked its 300th anniversary in 2011 — the same year disaster struck. While his family evacuated, 18th-generation brewer Yasuhiko Niida stayed behind alone and turned to organic, self-sustaining sake brewing rooted in local rice, native yeast, and chemical-free farming by inviting local organic farmers to grow sake rice instead, building a future the whole region could share.
