Asahiwakamatsu

Asahiwakamatsu is the representative brand brewed by Naka Shuzo, founded in 1725 (Kyoho 10). It is a Junmai sake that the long-established brewery with a history of about 300 years continues to brew through the philosophy of 'sake brewing with only rice and water.'
All products are Junmai sake, composed of four categories: Junmai Muroka Nama Genshu, Junmai Hiire Genshu, Junmai Hiire Kasui, and Junmai Namazake. For part of the koji used, Omachi rice cultivated in the brewer's own rice field is used, and all rice is polished in-house.
Because activated carbon filtration is refrained from as much as possible, it features an appearance with a pale golden color. This color is proof of cherishing the original flavor of rice and is an expression of the manufacturing method that does not spoil the essential taste of sake.
Under the brewer's belief that 'the true deliciousness of sake is born by aging,' the optimal shipping timing is decided by repeating component analysis and sensory tests. Featuring a powerful and rich taste and solid umami, the umami of rice stands out even more when served as warm sake.
Despite small-scale production of 45 koku per year, it is highly evaluated by sake lovers as an authentic Junmai sake sticking only to rice and water. It is a brand where the high-quality water of the Naka River and the brewer's commitment to rice are condensed.
