Arigatashi

Arigatashi is an innovative brand from Yoshikawa Toji no Sato that challenges conventional wisdom in sake. While it is usually considered that higher polishing (lower percentage) removes impurities and leads to higher quality, this brand dares to set the rice polishing at '90% (low polishing).' One can enjoy a unique taste that maximizes the powerful umami and potential inherent in rice.
The raw material is the highest-grade Yamada Nishiki cultivated without pesticides or chemical fertilizers using the Nagata-style natural farming method. The name 'Arigatashi' contains deep gratitude for the blessings of nature and the farmers who nurture every grain of rice. It stands apart from conventional fruity Ginjo sakes, its mellow and complex umami that makes one feel the energy of the earth gaining enthusiastic support among sake fans.
