Tsukimizunoike

Tsukimizunoike is the flagship brand representing the tradition of Inomata Shuzo. It was named after the local scenic spot 'Tsukimizunoike,' famous for its blooming wisteria. The name evokes a scene so beautiful that wisteria branches cover the pond, hiding even the moon reflecting on the water—a sentiment captured in its calligraphic label designs. Utilizing self-cultivated rice and pure snowmelt from Itoigawa, the sake pursues a deep umami core and a refined, clean finish. Its charm lies in a dignified flavor that feels as though the very terroir of Itoigawa has been bottled.
