Koshi no Kanchubai

Koshi no Kanchubai (Plum Blossom in Winter Cold) is the flagship brand of Niigata Meijo, aiming for a pure and strong flavor like a plum blossom blooming with dignity during the snowy mid-winter. While embodying the 'Tanrei Karakuchi' style typical of Niigata sake, its greatest charm lies in the exquisite balance where a faint rice umami remains in the aftertaste.
Its modest yet firm character, which doesn't spoil the flavor of dishes but rather enhances them, is ideal for daily evening drinks. Showing various expressions depending on how it's served—sharp when chilled and mellow when warmed—it is a bottle that has long been supported by Niigata sake fans not only in local Ojiya but also nationwide.
